Today, we're happy to announce the availability of Drill 1.14.0. You can download it here.
The release provides the following bug fixes and improvements:
Running Drill in a Docker container is the simplest way to start using Drill; all you need is the Docker client installed on your machine. You simply run a Docker command, and your Docker client downloads the Drill Docker image from the apache-drill repository on Docker Hub and then brings up a container with Apache Drill running in embedded mode. See Running Drill on Docker.
You can export and save your storage plugin configurations from the Storage page in the Drill Web UI. See Exporting Storage Plugin Configurations.
You can manage storage plugin configurations in the Drill configuration file, storage-plugins-override.conf. When you provide the storage plugin configurations in the storage-plugins-override.conf file, Drill reads the file and configures the plugins during start-up. See Configuring Storage Plugins with the storage-plugins-override.conf File.
The metadata format plugin is useful for querying a large number of image files stored in a distributed file system. You do not have to build a metadata repository in advance.
See Image Metadata Format Plugin.
The store.hive.conf.properties option enables you to specify Hive properties at the session level using the SET command. See Setting Hive Properties.
