Here is what I learned - we allow Drill to access Avro using Hive as a middle-man, i.e, creating a Hive table for Avro files. For now, no direct access to Avro files using Drill. Only Parquet, JSON and Text (as of version 0.4).
With that in the picture can the following be achieved? => Does Drill have the capability to "drill" Parquet if an Avro structure is hosted on a Parquet storage? --- Mufeed Usman My LinkedIn <http://www.linkedin.com/pub/mufeed-usman/28/254/400> | My Social Cause <http://www.vision2016.org.in/> | My Blogs : LiveJournal <http://mufeed.livejournal.com>
