Preface
The ability to analyze massive amounts of data is perhaps one of the most important developments of the 21st century. However, until recently, the tooling to analyze large datasets was exceedingly complex or expensive (or both). Apache Drill has the potential to change all that.
Apache Drill opens up incredible new possibilities for analyzing data because Drill enables you to query a variety of data sources using a standard language.
Who Should Read This Book
We envisioned this book for three groups of people: analysts or others who will be using Drill to query data, systems administrators who will be deploying and maintaining Drill in production environments, and developers who will be writing code to extend the functionality of Drill.
Why We Wrote This Book
Three years ago, Charles was introduced to Drill at the Strata Conference in San Jose, CA, and it sparked a realization that Drill could fundamentally change the way data is analyzed. After a few conversations with MapR chief scientist Ted Dunning, Charles realized that Drill had enormous unrealized potential for use with security-related datasets. However, at the time many of Drill’s capabilities were undocumented, and the availability of information about how to develop for Drill ranged from limited to nonexistent. Charles wanted to extend the capabilities of Drill, but he had no idea where to begin. This book is everything that Charles would have wanted if he were starting his journey with Drill today.1
