Hi Christian, While we do not have a native protobuf reader for Drill, we do support Hive Serdes as an input format. This will not be the fastest way to get your data into the Drill engine, but it should be less coding than writing a record reader for drill.
If you need performance and are up for learning a bit more about Drill, we would certainly welcome a contribution of a protobuf reader and would be happy to help you get started. -Jason Altekruse On Wed, Sep 3, 2014 at 10:58 AM, Yash Sharma <[email protected]> wrote: > Hey Cristian, currently we do not have protobuf readers in Drill.
