Apache Drill
• Open source SQL query engine for non-relational datastores
– JSON document model
– Columnar
• Key advantages:
– Query any non-relational datastore
– No overhead (creating and maintaining schemas, transforming data, …)
– Treat your data like a table even when it’s not
– Keep using the BI tools you love
– Scales from one laptop to 1000s of servers
– Great performance and scalability

Omni-SQL (“SQL-on-Everything”)
Drill: Omni-SQL
Whereas the other engines we're discussing here create a relational database
environment on top of Hadoop, Drill instead enables a SQL language interface to
data in numerous formats, without requiring a formal schema to be declared. This
enables plug-and-play discovery over a huge universe of data without
prerequisites and preparation. So while Drill uses SQL, and can connect to
Hadoop, calling it SQL-on-Hadoop kind of misses the point. A better name might
be SQL-on-Everything, with very low setup requirements.

Any Non-Relational Datastore
• File systems
– Traditional: Local files and NAS
– Hadoop: HDFS and MapR-FS
– Cloud storage: Amazon S3, Google
Cloud Storage, Azure Blob Storage
• NoSQL databases
– MongoDB
– HBase
– MapR-DB
– Hive
• And you can add new datastores
Any Client
• Multiple interfaces: ODBC, JDBC, REST, C,
Java
• BI tools
– Tableau
– Qlik
– MicroStrategy
– TIBCO Spotfire
– Excel
• Command line (Drill shell)
• Web and mobile apps
– Many JSON-powered chart libraries (see
D3.js)
• SAS, R, …
Drill Integrates With What You Have

Achieving “End-to-End Performance”
Execute fast
• Standard SQL
• Read data fast
• Leverage columnar
encodings and execution
• Execute operations
quickly
• Scale out, not up
Iterate fast
• Work without prep
• Decentralize data
management
• In-situ security
• Explore + query
• Access multiple sources
• Avoid the ETL rinse cycle

Apache Drill Provides the Best of Both Worlds
Acts Like a Database
• ANSI SQL: SELECT, FROM,
WHERE, JOIN, HAVING, ORDER
BY, WITH, CTAS, ALL, EXISTS,
ANY, IN, SOME
• VarChar, Int, BigInt, Decimal,
VarBinary, Timestamp, Float,
Double, etc.
• Subqueries, scalar subqueries,
partition pruning, CTE
• Data warehouse offload
• Tableau, ODBC, JDBC
• TPC-H & TPC-DS-like workloads
• Supports Hive SerDes
• Supports Hive UDFs
• Supports Hive Metastore
Even When Your Data
Doesn’t
• Path based queries and
wildcards
– select * from /my/logs/
– select * from /revenue/*/q2
• Modern data types
– Map, Array, Any
• Complex Functions and
Relational Operators
– FLATTEN, kvgen, convert_from,
convert_to, repeated_count, etc
• JSON Sensor analytics
• Complex data analysis
• Alternative DSLs

Why? To Support the Changing Data
Organization
Data Dev Circa 2000
1. Developer comes up with
requirements
2. DBA defines tables
3. DBA defines indices
4. DBA defines FK relationships
5. Developer stores data
6. BI builds reports
7. Analyst views reports
8. DBA adds materialized views
Data Today
1. Developer builds app, defines
schema, stores data
2. Analyst queries data
3. Data engineer fixes
performance problems or fills
functionality gaps

Everything Starts With a Drillbit…
• High performance query executor
• In-memory columnar execution
• Directly interacts with data, acquiring
knowledge as it reads
• Built to leverage large amounts of
memory
• Networked or not
• Exposes ODBC, JDBC, REST
• Built-in Web UI and CLI
• Extensible
Drillbit
Single process
(daemon or CLI)

Connect to Any Drillbit with ODBC, JDBC, C, Java,
REST
1. User connects to Drillbit
2. That Drillbit becomes Foreman
– Foreman generates execution plan
– Cost-based query optimization &
locality
3. Execution fragments are farmed
to other Drillbits
4. Drillbits exchange data as
necessary to guarantee relational
algebra
5. Results are returned to user
through Foreman Drillbit

Run Drill in Embedded Mode (drill-embedded)
$ tar xf apache-drill-1.0.0.tar.gz
$ cd apache-drill-1.0.0
$ bin/drill-embedded
> SELECT * FROM dfs.root.`/Users/tshiran/yelp/user.json` LIMIT 1;

+----------------+----------------------------------+---------------+-------+
| 2012-02 | {"funny":1,"useful":5,"cool":0} | 6 | Lee |
+----------------+----------------------------------+---------------+-------+
• drillbit (Drill daemon) starts automatically in embedded mode
• No ZooKeeper in embedded mode
• Web UI is available at localhost:8047

Review the Query Profile in the Web UI
(localhost:8047)

Run Drill in Distributed Mode
$ zkServer start # ZooKeeper maintains the list of drillbits in the cluster
$ bin/drillbit.sh start # conf/drill-override.conf includes cluster name and ZK nodes
$ bin/drill-conf # or bin/drill-localhost to skip ZK lookup
