Sure... I believe you could CTAS from your json directory into a tmp parquet directory and then move the resultant files into the final parquet directory
i.e. Drill Query: Create table `.mytempparq` as select * from `.mytempjson` Filesystem command: mv ./mytempparq/* ./myfinalparq It would be great of Drill could do this for us :) On Thu, Dec 8, 2016 at 11:13 AM, Alexander Reshetov < alexander.v.reshe...@gmail.com> wrote: > By the way, is it possible to append data to parquet data source? > I'm looking for possibility to update (append to) existing data new > rows so every query execution will have new data rows. > > Surely it's possible with plain JSON, but I want more efficient binary > format which will give quicker reads (and executions of queries). > > On Wed, Dec 7, 2016 at 4:08 PM, Alexander Reshetov > <alexander.v.reshe...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Hello, > > > > I want to load batches of unstructured data in Drill.
