@paul-rogers >Another reason it is surprising that we have such code is the big deal we make of being "schema free." Of course, "schema free" has problems. Why would we not have mentioned that "schema free" means "infer the schema at plan time" if doing so would solve the schema inconsistency issues? Amazing... I was supposing that the Drill's key feature is that Drill takes care of the data structure and type, while the user is left only to query the data like it is a simple Porstgres or MySql table. Saying this I think it's fine to read all the available metadata of the data whenever at any query execution phase if it helps us to execute faster and with less fail chance the query and if there is no additional setup from the user required. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
