Hi Drill Devs,
the Apache board report for Drill for the Nov-Feb quarter is due soon.
Here's a draft. If you have any comments, let me know. I plan to submit
by tomorrow.
Thanks,
Aman
=====
## Description:
- Drill is a Schema-free SQL Query Engine for Hadoop, NoSQL and Cloud
Storage
## Issues:
- There are no issues requiring board attention at this time
## Activity:
- Since the last board report, Drill has released version 1.12.0. The
following is a partial list of
new features/enhancements that were added in addition to many other bug
fixes:
- Kafka and OpenTSDB Storage Plugins.
- Queue-Based memory assignment for buffering operators (Throttling).
- Networking Functions.
- SSL Support.
- Network Encryption Support.
- System options improvements, including a new internal system options
table.
- Access to paths outside the current workspace.
- Drill completed a substantial effort to rebase on Apache Calcite 1.15
(previously, Drill
was using Calcite 1.4 along with several cherry-picked changes on top).
An upcoming release 1.13 will contain the result of this work.
## Health report:
- The project is healthy. Development activity as reflected in the pull
requests and JIRAs
is good. Activity on the dev mailing list continues to be strong.
Activity on the user mailing
list had a decline compared to prior reporting period possibly due to
the holiday season.
