Session Title

Apache Drill - interactive query and analysis at scale
Session Type Tutorial
Duration 45 minutes
Session Description

Apache Drill is a distributed system for interactive analysis of large-scale datasets, inspired by Google’s Dremel technology, aiming to process Petabytes of data and trillions of records in seconds.

Since its inception in mid 2012, Apache Drill has gained widespread interest in the community. In this session we focus on how Apache Drill enables interactive analysis and query at scale. We first go through typical use cases and Drill's architecture, and then focus on the data flow and query languages as well as data sources supported. Last but not least a live demo of Drill is performed.
