Data source configuration: https://www.dropbox.com/s/g5peo43baf1bqgj/drill.config?dl=0 Error log I am getting when issue a select * query: https://www.dropbox.com/s/5bgyw4jetweczoj/drill.log?dl=0 Can you please let me know what could be the root cause of the issue? P.S : I can issue "show files" command and it works without issues.
