kkhatua commented on issue #1539: DRILL-6847: Add Query Metadata to RESTful
Interface
URL: https://github.com/apache/drill/pull/1539#issuecomment-438860831
@cgivre I didn't build and try this out, but I'm curious on how we manage
for `select * from` queries. Especially with schema changes... like fields
being added or dropped between rows.
Also, I agree with @arina-ielchiieva 's point of not repeating the field
names (unless schema change requires it). But I'm not sure how badly we break
backward compatibility (perhaps carry a `version` in the REST response?).

> Add Query Metadata to RESTful Interface
> ---------------------------------------
>
> Key: DRILL-6847
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DRILL-6847
> Project: Apache Drill
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Metadata
> Reporter: Charles Givre
> Assignee: Charles Givre
> Priority: Minor
>
> The Drill RESTful interface does not return the structure of the query
> results. This makes integrating Drill with other BI tools difficult because
> they do not know what kind of data to expect.
> This PR adds a new section to the results called Metadata which contains a
> list of the minor types of all the columns returned.
> The query below will now return the following in the RESTful interface:
> {code:sql}
> SELECT CAST( employee_id AS INT) AS employee_id,
> full_name,
> first_name,
> last_name,
> CAST( position_id AS BIGINT) AS position_id,
> position_title
> FROM cp.`employee.json` LIMIT 2
> {code}
> {code}
> {
