> Currently the Storage section on the Drill web user interface provides a way to configure file formats which Drill can support reading from and also configure workspaces with a defaultInputFormat. 
> Example:
> {code}
> ...
> "workspaces": {
>     ...
>     "tmp": {
>       "location": "/tmp",
>       "writable": true,
>       "defaultInputFormat": "csv"
>     }
>     ...
> ,
>   "formats": {
>     ...
>     "parquet": {
>       "type": "parquet"
>     },
>     "json": {
>       "type": "json"
>     }
>     ...
> {code}
> Drill must also provide a way to configure the default storage formats per workspace for writing data (using CTAS statements). Possibly via an optional field "defaultOutputFormat":
> {code}
> "customer": {
>       "location": "/data/customer",
>       "writable": true,
>       "defaultInputFormat": "json", 
>       "defaultOutputFormat": "json"
>     }
> {code}
> This would make it convenient and also clear as to what the CTAS command would write into. 
>  
> At present the only way to do this is via altering system options using Sqlline as follows:
> {code}
> alter session set `store.format` = 'json|parquet|...'
> {code}
