I.e.  - we would add support for .xls, .xlsx for Drill.

Who can mentor me to do this?

I think it would be a great new feature for Drill to add this support.

What do you think?

Which gives me an idea - storage plug in for Excel using POI or something
like that - a r/w for Excel spreadsheets.

Not sexy, but when it comes to data, covers the most widely used tabular
data format.

Thanks,  Daniel.

I'll ask questions here and expand these, put them into a Markdown and run
