Querying Parquet Files
The Drill installation includes a sample-data directory with Parquet files
that you can query. Use SQL to query the region.parquet and
nation.parquet files in the sample-data directory.
Note
The Drill installation location may differ from the examples used here.
The examples assume that Drill was installed in embedded mode. If you installed Drill in distributed mode, or your sample-data directory differs from the location used in the examples. Change the sample-data directory to the correct location before you run the queries.
Region File
To view the data in the region.parquet file, issue the following query:
SELECT * FROM dfs.`<path-to-installation>/apache-drill-<version>/sample-data/region.parquet`;
The query returns the following results:
|--------------|--------------|-----------------------|
| R_REGIONKEY | R_NAME | R_COMMENT |

Nation File
If you followed the Apache Drill in 10 Minutes instructions to install Drill in embedded mode, the path to the parquet file varies between operating systems.
To view the data in the nation.parquet file, issue the query appropriate for
your operating system:
SELECT * FROM dfs.`<path-to-installation>/sample-data/nation.parquet`;
The query returns the following results:
|--------------|-----------------|--------------|-----------------------|
