Hello all, 
I'm contemplating some improvements to Drill's PCAP reader.  Specifically, I'd 
like for Drill to actually be able to parse some of the actual packet data.  I 
was thinking of using KaiTai structs as a means to do so as they already have 
parsers for common packets.  An example of this is the DNS parser 
(https://formats.kaitai.io/dns_packet/java.html) 

I was thinking of doing the following:
1.  Converting the PCAP plugin to use the EVF framework. 
2.  Including a config option to turn the parsing on/off
3.  Having the appropriate parser read and parse the data and store it into a 
Drill map. 

Does anyone have any comments or thoughts on the matter?
Thanks,
-- C
