[jira] [Updated] (DRILL-4659) Specify, as part of the query, table information: data format (CSV, parquet, JSON. etc.), field delimiter, etc.

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DRILL-4659?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Roger Dielrton updated DRILL-4659:
----------------------------------
    Description: 
I have a file, that I would like to use in a query, and it can have one or more of the following properties:
* Has not extension ==> Drill is unable to handle it.
* I know it contains data in CSV format, but the field separator is a non standard character ==> Drill is unable to parse it (without modify the storage plugin configuration).
* Is located in an Amazon S3 bucket ==> I can't rename it.
* Has a big size ==> It would be expensive to make a copy of it. 

It would be nice if you can specify, as part of the "select" query, as metadata, relevant table information as:
* Data format (CSV, parquet, JSON. etc.)
* Field delimiter.
