Re: Drill and OData

[Charles Givre]

Hi Vitalli, 
I saw this (https://github.com/kevinlynx/drill-storage-http 
) but I don’t think it works 
with current versions of Drill.  I would really like to get something like this 
into Drill and I’ve emailed the author to see if he’d be willing to update it 
and submit it as a PR.

Hi Kevin!

It is feasible. Any Drill Storage or Format Plugin can be as an example for
you.
Somewhere I saw initial work for Drill REST Plugin. Earlier Charles Givre
posted an email about REST plugin.
I will add info from that mail here.
Charles could share your findings in this area with Kevin?
