Robert's suggestion is with using the DFS plugin. If you directly use DFS instead of hive plugin then
1. DFS plugin has to determine the underlying data format on the fly. 2. DFS plugin does not know the schema in advance. But in the case parquet drill would get this information from the parquet metadata. However if the hive table is backed by a csv file, then you cast the columns appropriately in the query or create a view. 3. If the underlying hive table is partitioned, then drill does not know anything about partitions. However since hive partitions are just sub-directories, you can still modify the query to take advantage of drill's directory based partitioning 4. In terms of performance, I am not aware of any published benchmarks comparing hive plugin and dfs plugin for parquet format. But from my general experience it appears as though DFS plugin is faster. Also do not forget the 3rd option in my first response (Hive Plugin + Drill native parquet reader). We do have plans to support filter pushdown for this scenario in the future. - Rahul On Tue, Nov 15, 2016 at 8:01 AM, Sonny Heer <[email protected]> wrote: > Thanks Robert. > > "You can then use Drill to query the Hive table and get predicate pushdown" > > This is using the DFS plugin and going directly to the hive table folder? > > Can someone speak to what advantages there are to use the hive plugin vs > going directly to dfs > > On Tue, Nov 15, 2016 at 12:32 AM, Robert Hou <[email protected]> wrote: > > > I have used Hive 1.2 and I have found that the stats in parquet files are > > populated for some data types.
