@julioasotodv sorry for the late reply. At the moment, the connector for Apache Drill doesn't implement some the functionality other SQL connectors have in Falcon.

I've had a quick look at the documentation, and the missing functionality is readily available in Apache Drill, so this is an easy first-time contribution.

If no one has a go at implementing the missing functionality, I'll do it myself next month.

@n-riesco TBH I'm not that familiar with how Falcon works itself (I do not have much spare time neither...)

I will try to poke around a little bit

@julioasotodv Great! If you need any help, please, post here.

The main change is to add the functions tables and schemas to https://github.com/plotly/falcon-sql-client/blob/master/backend/persistent/datastores/ApacheDrill.js and update SQL_DIALECTS_USING_EDITOR and PREVIEW_QUERY in https://github.com/plotly/falcon-sql-client/blob/master/app/constants/constants.js .

We've got some documentation on implementing a connector in https://github.com/plotly/falcon-sql-client/blob/master/NEW_CONNECTION.md .

And see the instructions to build Falcon in https://github.com/plotly/falcon-sql-client/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md ; basically:

$ git clone https://github.com/plotly/falcon-sql-client falcon-sql-client
$ cd falcon-sql-client
$ yarn install
$ yarn run rebuild:modules:electron
$ yarn run build
$ yarn run start

If, at some point, you don't find the time to complete a PR, please, let us know, so that someone else can continue the work.

Thank you for doing this!

@julioasotodv If you have any issues with setting up the environment please let me know. I can jump a skype call and give you a hand

@julioasotodv did you have a chance work on this feature? If you haven't, @kndungu is interested in implementing it.

Hi, unfortunately I did not have any time at all :(

Also, I found out that my js is extremely rusty 😅

So yeah, @kndungu can go ahead anytime :)

Hi all,

I am interested to contribute. I have a similar experience of developing the connector. But, I am new to open source contribution. Need help!

@sidd1990 Which connector are you interested in adding. I can help you with the connector and UI part and walk you through the integration

I am caught up with some personal work and I cannot get back to this for another month. But I will surely get back to it!
