------------------------------------------

Agreed, this would make querying log data like syslog possible.

> I am pulling data in from a database into Hadoop using Sqoop. This creates .csv files that do not have any file extensions. I have looked at the Drill Wiki and tried to alter my storage plugin config by removing the "csv" format in the JSON and I have tried to leave empty quotes here too. I have found that whatever I try, Drill cannot find the 'table' (csv file) if there is no .csv file extension present. If I add this extension to the files, drill can find the table. 
> Would it be possible to add the ability to set an 'empty' extention so csv/other separated files with no file extension can be queried without having to change the file name?
> If this is already possible, please close this ticket.
> Thanks,
> Mike
