Today, we're happy to announce the availability of Drill 1.7.0. You can download it here.

+ +

The release provides the following bug fixes and improvements:

+ +

Monitoring via JMX

+ +

You can access Drill system-level metrics, collected by JMX, through the Metrics page in the Drill Web Console or a remote JMX monitoring tool. See INSERT PAGE.

+ +

Hive CHAR Data Type

+ +

Drill automatically converts the Hive CHAR data type to VARCHAR. You no longer need to cast the Hive CHAR data type to VARCHAR when you query Hive tables. See Hive-to-Drill Data Type Mapping.

+ +

HBase

+ +

Drill now supports HBase 1.x.

+ +

A complete list of JIRAs resolved in the 1.7.0 release can be found here.
