On behalf of the Apache Drill community, I am happy to announce the release of Apache Drill 1.14.0.
For information about Apache Drill, and to get involved, visit the project website [1]. This release of Drill provides the following many new features and improvements: ================================================================================= - Ability to run Drill in a Docker container. (DRILL-6346) - Ability to export and save your storage plugin configurations to a JSON file for reuse. (DRILL-4580) - Ability to manage storage plugin configurations in the Drill configuration file, storage-plugins-override.conf. (DRILL-6494) - Functions that return data type information. (DRILL-6361) - The Drill kafka storage plugin supports filter pushdown for query conditions on certain Kafka metadata fields in messages. (DRILL-5977) - Spill to disk for the Hash Join operator. (DRILL-6027) - The dfs storage plugin supports a Logfile plugin extension that enables Drill to directly read and query log files of any format. (DRILL-6104) - Phonetic and string distance functions. (DRILL-6519) - The store.hive.conf.properties option enables you to specify Hive properties at the session level using the SET command. (DRILL-6575) - Drill can directly manage the CPU resources through the Drill start-up script, drill-env.sh; you no longer have to manually add the PID to the cgroup.procs file each time a Drillbit restarts. (DRILL-143) - Drill can query the metadata in various image formats with the image metadata format plugin. (DRILL-4364) - Enhanced decimal data type support. (DRILL-6094) - Option to push LIMIT(0) on top of SCAN. (DRILL-6574) - Parquet filter pushdown improvements. (DRILL-6174) - Drill can infer filter conditions for join queries and push the filter conditions down to the data source. (DRILL-6173) - Drill uses a native reader to read Hive tables when you enable the store.hive.optimize_scan_with_native_readers option. When enabled, Drill reads data faster and applies filter pushdown optimizations. (DRILL-6331) - Early release of lateral join.
