Connect to Drill (dplyr)

Use src_drill() to connect to a Drill cluster and tbl() to connect to a fully-qualified "table reference". The vast majority of Drill SQL functions have also been made available to the dplyr interface. If you have custom Drill SQL functions that need to be implemented please file an issue on GitHub.

src_drill(
  host = Sys.getenv("DRILL_HOST", "localhost"),
  port = as.integer(Sys.getenv("DRILL_PORT", 8047L)),
  ssl = FALSE,
  username = NULL,
  password = NULL
)

# S3 method for src_drill
tbl(src, from, ...)

Arguments

host	Drill host (will pick up the value from DRILL_HOST env var)
port	Drill port (will pick up the value from DRILL_PORT env var)
ssl	use ssl?
username, password	if not NULL the credentials for the Drill service.
src	A Drill "src" created with src_drill()
from	A Drill view or table specification
...	Extra parameters

Note

This is a DBI wrapper around the Drill REST API.

Examples

try({
db <- src_drill("localhost", 8047L)

print(db)
## src:  DrillConnection
## tbls: INFORMATION_SCHEMA, cp.default, dfs.default, dfs.root, dfs.tmp, sys

emp <- tbl(db, "cp.`employee.json`")

count(emp, gender, marital_status)
## # Source:   lazy query [?? x 3]
## # Database: DrillConnection
## # Groups:   gender
##   marital_status gender     n
##            <chr>  <chr> <int>
