HI Charles, I have never contributed to any open source community before this. Also I am not expert on JAVA but willing to contribute for sure. Please let me know in what capacity i can be helpful here.
Also, I would like to know if there any efforts going on to identify primary support for Apache drill and what is its future in case there is no primary supporter? My organization is planning to build some tools using drill and this news will definitely impact the same. thx Regards Prabhakar On Fri, May 15, 2020 at 8:18 PM Charles Givre <cgi...@gmail.com> wrote: > Dear Drill Users, > I hope everyone weathering the COVID storm and staying safe. > > As you may or may not be aware, I found out this week that MapR's > successor, HPE has for all intents and purposes ended its support for > Drill.
