   # [DRILL-7514](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DRILL-7514): Update 
Apache POI to Latest Version
   
   ## Description
   
   Drill's Excel Format Plugin uses Apache POI to parse Excel files. While this 
reader is effective in that it parses formulae and data types, it uses memory 
inefficiently and will struggle to read very large Excel files.  
   The latest version of POI addresses some of the memory issues and hopefully 
Drill will be able to query larger Excel files without running out of memory.
   
   This PR updates Drill to use the latest version of Apache POI and also 
updates the User Agent Parser to a more recent version. 
   
   There was a minor change to the POI's behavior with respect to empty sheets, 
so I had to enclose a line in a `try/catch` block.  
   
   ## Documentation
   No user visible changes.
   
   ## Testing
   All relevant unit tests run and passed.
