I'm excited to announce that the community has just released Drill 0.7, which includes 228 resolved JIRAs and numerous enhancements such as:

+ +
    +
  • No dependency on UDP multicast. Drill can now work on EC2, as well as clusters with multiple subnets or multihomed configurations
    • +
  • Automatic partition pruning based on directory structures
    • +
  • New nested data functions: KVGEN and FLATTEN
    • +
  • Fast "schema" return. This provides a better experience when using BI tools
    • +
  • Hive 0.13 Metastore support
    • +
  • Improved performance for queries on JSON data
    • +
+ +

You can now download Drill 0.7. As always, you may check out the official release notes for more details.

Happy Drilling!
