----------------------------------
Summary: Provide a light-weight, versioned client API
Key: DRILL-4791
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DRILL-4791
Project: Apache Drill
Issue Type: New Feature
Reporter: Paul Rogers
Assignee: Paul Rogers
Drill's existing client APIs are "industrial strength" - they provide full
access to the sophisticated distributed, columnar RPCs which Drill uses
internall. However, they are too complex for most client needs. Provide a
simpler API optimized for clients: row-based result sets, synchronous, etc.
At the same time, Drill clients must currently link with the same version of
Drill code as is running on the Drill cluster. This forces clients to upgrade
in lock-step with the cluster. Allow Drill clients to be upgraded after (or
even before) the Drill cluster to simplify management of desktop apps that use
Drill.
