@xvrl, thanks for the question. It seems that PyDruid has historically focused on queries: primarily for native queries, also for SQL. PyDruid has great integrations with things like SqlAlchemy, Pandas, etc. The Python API here is primarily for the operational aspects of the Druid REST API. It allows those of us who tinker with Druid to create notebooks to drive various Druid tasks. This API also has query features, including those not (yet) supported in PyDruid, such as support for MSQ, both for ingestion and for query. (MSQ query, at the moment, is a bit awkward, but it does work.) A way to combine efforts would be to expand PyDruid to offer the non-query features in this API, as well as including (experimental) MSQ query support. Since PyDruid has historically been query-focused, there could be two "PyDruid+" modules: one for the classic query tasks, another for the other Druid REST API features. Combining the two APIs would certainly make life simpler for users: just one library to import rather than two. How do you suggest we might proceed? -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
