[jira] [Commented] (DRILL-13) Storage Engine: Define Java Interface

["Ted Dunning (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DRILL-13?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13550657#comment-13550657 ] 

Ted Dunning commented on DRILL-13:
----------------------------------

I think that this misses what we need.  The actual storage substrate is something that Drill shouldn't care about.

What Drill cares about is:

- how are records read?

- is the data stored in columnar fashion?

- what is the schema for the data?

- are there multiple views of the data (for instance if the scanner does side effecting columnization)?

- is there locality information available?

I think that the reference interpreter will be clarifying many of these issues.

> We're going to need to define a storage engine API.  At a minimum, we'll need to generate a Java one.  We will probably need to also create a CPP one.  This task is for the former.  Things that are likely to be included in a the Java interface are: reader (scanner), writer, capabilities interface, schema interface, statistics interface, data layout and ordering
