---- Note from the release manager.
As we announce Drill 1.20 to the world I'd like to point to the fact
that this release, and all of Drill, is full of valuable contributions
from talented Ukrainian developers whom many of us know personally. On
behalf of the Drill community may I express once more our deepest
concern for their well-being during the unfolding crisis in their homeland.
----
On behalf of the Apache Drill community, I am happy to announce the
release of Apache Drill 1.20.0.
Drill is an Apache open-source SQL query engine for Big Data exploration.
Drill is designed from the ground up to support high-performance analysis
on the semi-structured and rapidly evolving data coming from modern Big
Data applications, while still providing the familiarity and ecosystem of
ANSI SQL, the industry-standard query language. Drill provides
plug-and-play integration with existing Apache Hive and Apache HBase
deployments.
For information about Apache Drill, and to get involved, visit the
project website [1].
