For data geeks and aspiring data geeks everywhere!
Here is a quick iPython notebook I wrote up which demonstrates how to execute queries in Apache Drill using Drill’s RESTful interface. I’ve had a lot of difficulties getting Drill to “talk” to Python via JDBC and ODBC. I think the problems however are related to my computer’s configuration, but in any event, this code works.
Querying Apache Drill via RESTful Interface

After reflecting on the matter more, I hope that people will start to understand that these home automation d
evices really are data collection devices for the manufacturer of the device. The Automatic, in my opinion, while it is a very neat device, provides little information that the driver wouldn’t alrea
y know about themselves and hence little benefit to the customer. However, to the Automatic company, when you start aggregating this data, it provides a wealth of data to them. Therefore, devices should have some sort of ranking as to benefit to consumer vs. benefit to company.
