Hi everyone

[Edmon Begoli <eb...@gmail.com>]

Hello everyone,

This is Edmon Begoli from Knoxville, TN.

I am looking forward to join this group of the fine technologists and
developers, and to contribute in whatever capacity I can.

I am experienced Java developer, a recent Drill adoptee and a huge
fan, and I am looking forward to help however I can.
I already exchanged emails with Jaques suggesting some issues I can start with.

It is my desire to join this team as quickly as possible and to become
one of the commiters.

I think that Drill is still pretty young, and there are some rough
edges, but I also have to say that I am very impressed by the
Drill/Parquet potentials and capabilities.

Going forward and further in the future, I would like to contribute
many things, but for sure a support for Postgres connector and/or
native support for HL7 EDI formats as these rule the global healthcare
industry, are somewhat archaic, but are probably amenable and
deserving to be one of the supported formats.

I think this could revolutionize how we work with structured,
non-relational healthcare data, specially the one that is currently
buried in the old systems.

Thanks all,
Edmon

Hey Matt, thanks for sharing this.
Do you have somewhere an example for how is it used, or plugged into
the larger context?
I would like to evaluate it quickly, and if applicable, perhaps user
it as  parser.

Here at Pentaho we've dealt (at least a little) with HL7 and EDI, here's our
HL7 parser:

https://github.com/pentaho/pentaho-kettle/blob/master/plugins/kettle-hl7-plu
gin/src/org/pentaho/di/trans/steps/hl7input/common/HL7KettleParser.java

Š and an ANTLR <http://www.antlr.org/>  grammar to convert EDI to XML:

https://github.com/pentaho/pentaho-kettle/blob/master/engine/src/org/pentaho
/di/trans/steps/edi2xml/grammar/FastSimpleGenericEdifactDirectXML.g

There is other code in those areas that do additional processing of the
files/fields/etc.  Not sure if this is helpful but thought I'd share just in
case :)

Regards,
Matt

H7 has some interesting issues as a data format.

Having some knowledgable eyes on the issues that come up relative to Drill
working on that would be very interesting.
