(This article was first published on <strong><a href="https://rud.is/b/2017/07/17/ten-hut-the-apache-drill-r-interface-package-sergeant-is-now-on-cran/"> R – rud.is</a></strong>, and kindly contributed to <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.r-bloggers.com/">R-bloggers)</a> </div>
<p>I’m extremely pleased to announce that the <a rel="nofollow" href="https://github.com/hrbrmstr/sergeant" target="_blank"><code>sergeant</code></a> package is now on CRAN or will be hitting your local CRAN mirror soon.</p>
<p><code>sergeant</code> provides JDBC, DBI and <code>dplyr</code>/<code>dbplyr</code> interfaces to <a rel="nofollow" href="https://drill.apache.org/" target="_blank">Apache Drill</a>. I’ve also wrapped a few goodies into the <code>dplyr</code> custom functions that work with Drill and if you have Drill UDFs that don’t work “out of the box” with <code>sergeant</code>‘s <code>dplyr</code> interface, file an issue and I’ll make a special one for it in the package.</p>
<p>I’ve written about drill <a rel="nofollow" href="https://rud.is/b/category/drill/" target="_blank">on the blog before</a> so check out those posts for some history and stay tuned for more examples. The <a rel="nofollow" href="https://github.com/hrbrmstr/sergeant/blob/master/README.md" target="_blank">README</a> should get you started using <code>sergeant</code> and/or Drill (if you aren’t running Drill now, take a look and you’ll likely get hooked).</p>
<p>I’d like to take a moment to call out special thanks to <a rel="nofollow" href="https://github.com/alistaire47" target="_blank">Edward Visel</a> for bootstrapping the <code>dbplyr</code> update to <code>sergeant</code> when the <code>dplyr</code>/<code>dbplyr</code> interfaces split. It saved me loads of time and really helped the progress of this package move faster towards a CRAN release.</p>
