On behalf of Apache Drill community, I am happy to announce the release of Apache Drill 1.4.0.
This release of Drill fixes many issues and introduces a number of enhancements, including the following ones: - Partition pruning improvements to reduce the planning time (DRILL-3765 <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DRILL-3765>). - Select with options. More about this feature here [1]. - ValueVector related code is extracted from 'exec/java-exec' module into a separate module 'exec/vector'. See [2]. There is no change for Drill end user experience, but it is an opportunity for developers to use the Drill's in-memory columnar representation in their own projects. The source and binary artifacts are available at [3] Review a complete list of fixes and enhancements at [4] Thanks to everyone in the community who contributed in this release.
