Attendees: Chris Westin, Edmon Bergoli, Sudheesh Katkam, Daniel Barclay, Jinfeng Ni, Venki Korukanti, Julien Le Dem
(*) Edmon has outstanding requests on mailing lists - 1. plug-in for reading excel files - 2. plug-in to read EDI files Venki offered some suggestions re using the format plug-in to write these plug-ins - Venki will answer some of these on the dev list Compute resources coming - Sudheesh: Drill doesn't currently have any special handling for co-processors - available machines have up to 256G RAM - have done some Spark testing in the past, so the support folks know something about how to set up JVMs for this (*) Daniel wants to talk about how empty files should be handled. Message posted to dev list, but not answered. - a filter pushdown made it appear like a file was empty (because nothing passed the filter), so the schema information (OK_NEW_SCHEMA) was never returned. >From previous discussions: we're not good at handling empty files in general. The record handling protocol needs better definition; Daniel has come up with docs with help with Steven, but he's waiting for review and approval DRILL-2888 (current bug) and DRILL-3641 (primarily the doc changes). (*) Re upcoming release: Jacques shading change; Zookeeper used a different version of Jackson than the one in the shaded jar. - If using the jdbc-all jar, can't connect to Zookeeper, get ClassNotFound - ticket currently assigned to Jacques (*) Shaded test that isn't working - might be easier to do that if we used maven integration tests - would that make it easier to run form an IDE? - is someone at Dremio working on integration tests? (*) A few people are going to Strata NYC next week (*) Edmon wants to know the status of Java 1.8 Support. - Venki: issue with order of values stored in the HashMap - Chris: here's the umbrella ticket for the known issues: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DRILL-1491 That currently has one open sub-task left: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DRILL-1489
