Learning Apache Drill: Query and Analyze Distributed Data Sources with SQL

by Charles Givre, Paul Rogers

Get up to speed with Apache Drill, an extensible distributed SQL query engine that reads massive datasets in many popular file formats such as Parquet, JSON, and CSV. Drill reads data in HDFS or in cloud-native storage such as S3 and works with Hive metastores along with distributed databases such as HBase, MongoDB, and relational databases. Drill works on your laptop or in your largest cluster. In this practical book, Drill committers Charles Givre and Paul Rogers show analysts and data scientists how to query and analyze raw data using this powerful tool. Data scientists today spend about 80% of their time just gathering and cleaning data. With this book, you’ll learn how Drill helps you analyze data more effectively to drive down time to insight.

Good book if you are new to Apache Drill.

delivers what it promises, it will not go much into the internals of Apache Drill but it's good if you are new/starting out with Apache Drill
