On behalf of the Apache Drill community, I am happy to announce the release of Apache Drill 1.19.0.
Drill is an Apache open-source SQL query engine for Big Data exploration. Drill is designed from the ground up to support high-performance analysis on the semi-structured and rapidly evolving data coming from modern Big Data applications, while still providing the familiarity and ecosystem of ANSI SQL, the industry-standard query language. Drill provides plug-and-play integration with existing Apache Hive and Apache HBase deployments. For information about Apache Drill, and to get involved, visit the project website [1].
