Apache Drill is the next generation of SQL query engines. It builds on ANSI SQL 2003, and extends it to handle new formats like JSON, Parquet, ORC, and the usual CSV, TSV, XML and other Hadoop formats. Most importantly, it melts away the barriers that have caused databases to become silos of data. It does so by able to handle schema-changes on the fly, enabling a whole new world of self-service and data agility never seen before.
