Hi, We are, unfortunately, still not in a position to contribute time to Drill development despite using it heavily and liking it a lot.
We are, however, in a position to commission work for it to be contributed is there are any developers here that would accept that kind of work and if this practice is a acceptable by the Drill community. There are several things we would love to see happen and are willing to commission/sponsor over the next few months. To name one, as an example, we would benefit from predicate push-down for dictionary values (other than the statistical max/min values currently supported (from 1.9)). If this approach is not welcome then I apologize. Regards, - Stefán Baxter (ActivityStream.com)
