[jira] [Commented] (DRILL-3738) Create StoragePlugin for Excel files (.xlsx or possibly .xls) - version 1 - read only.

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DRILL-3738?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=14903727#comment-14903727 ] 

Jacques Nadeau commented on DRILL-3738:
---------------------------------------

It would be great if you could start by proposing a user experience. 

What are tables? (sheets, workbook)?
What are columns (first row or a, b, c)
etc.

Maybe show some examples of how might work.

> I would like to implement a new storage plugin for Excel files which would support reading and writing of these. 
> It would be implemented using Apache POI project:
> https://poi.apache.org/spreadsheet/
> The most recent component of POI called SS supports both .xlsx and .xls format which is particularly convenient, as this will uniformly allow the coverage of of both formats.
> First version would feature only read functionality.
