For the hangout tomorrow, can we spend some time on the topic of embedded types (https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DRILL-3228) and related issues?
There have been a bunch of reports of Drill not being able to handle schema change as expected; for example - 1) Large number of initial values are null and Drill defaults to a nullable int type in the absence of type information. 2) Type changes after the initial type is determined (eg from int to varchar) and the query fails even though an implicit cast would have handled the change. Can we have an initial discussion around this, just so everyone is on the same page? We can follow up with a detailed discussion on the list. Parth
