What do you like best about Apache Drill?

The use of basic SQL on serialized files such as parquet and very easy to play around in a distributed cluster.(cloud-based) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It works on all the files, however, for serialized it works faster on .parquet extension files. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Apache Drill:

I think the documentation of Apache Drill is one of the best documents for those who want are SQL beginners as well as new to Apache Drill set-up. Even on standalone system you can very well set-up and use the features of database query and data manipulation.

I highly recommend going through their documentation which provides an explanation of even in which scenario the drill queries will perform faster operations and why? Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Apache Drill solving and how is that benefiting you?

I work to extract insights for various empirical analyses from the stored files on the Hadoop cluster. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Apache Drill?

Apache Drill is awesome because you can use regular SQL to query multiple datastores. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Apache Drill solving and how is that benefiting you?

Apache Drill has made it easy to query across all of our datastores in a universal format. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
