> MapR-FS supports symlinks and hence MapR-DB table paths support symlinks as well. As part of the project I work on, we use symlinks as a means of communication to talk to the physical file. An employee table in MapR-DB will be represented as  "/tables/Employee/Entity_1233232" and there will be a symlink called "/tables/Employee/Entity" pointing to the actual physical table. Currently, drill does not understand queries having the symlink path but only executes queries having the actual physical table path. So every time, I need to find out the actual physical path of the table and frame my query. It would be nice to have this feature in next version of Drill.
