Apache Drill's Future

I'm really impressed with the misson of Drill - write SQL for disparate data sources - but I've actually never installed it. When I have a bunch of parquet/csv/... files sitting around, I can normally slurp them in with pandas.

Try it out! I'd agree that if you have 1 CSV you don't need Drill. If you have more than one, is where it starts to get interesting. Also there is PyDrill which enables you to execute a Drill query and put the results directly into a pandas data frame. If you're an R person, there's Sergeant that does the same.
