    Drill 2.0 ideas shared during the meetup

      o

        Further decouple storage and format plugins from the core of
        Drill to enable out-of-tree development of a wide variety of
        plugins by a wide audience without creating an unsustainable
        burden in the core project.

      o

        Redesign Drill plugins on top of a modular Java framework. OSGI
        possibly too complex.

      o Other parts of Drill could also be more modular e.g. security,
        web, etc.
      o

        Transition timestamps to UTC timestamps.

      o

        Expand the number of storage plugins with write capability
        (currently file and JDBC).

General

  * Community members based at HPE look forward to active participation
    in the community.
