intro and direction
Hi all,
I'm excited about the vision of this project and would like to volunteer to
help. I've got plenty of java experience but can't say I've worked on
anything quite like this before. I work at a business intelligence SaaS
company called RJMetrics <http://www.rjmetrics.com> - but initially I'd
only be able to contribute my personal time.
I noticed that the query-parser unit tests aren't passing, and also that a
logical test or two are conspicuously absent (the HAVING clause is never
tested). This seems like a good place to dip my toe in... but if anyone
has better suggestions I'd appreciate some direction. Just lead this horse
to water.
Looking forward to it.
cheers,
Chris Merrick

Welcome Chris!
Glad you're interested in Apache Drill. We definitely need help. What you
identified are definitely places where we could use the help. We've also
been working recently quite a bit in the sandbox sub directory of our
source tree. As part of this, I have a large number of contributions that
I'm hoping will get accepted on my local github including a reference
interpreter. You can find out more about that at [1]. I'd love your help
looking at that work. If you're interested, you could pull together
additional evaluators, add some tests, etc.
Any of that sound good?
