title: Apache Drill - Memory / Stream as Data Source
body: <p>This may be abusing what the spirit of Drill is meant for, but I was wondering if anyone had tried pointing drill queries at memory or a stream of data.</p>
  
  <p>Maybe:</p>
  
  <pre><code>local&gt; select columns[0], avg(columns[5]) from dfs.`tail -f /users/home/carl/incoming.log` group by columns[0], columns[5];
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Making it more 'Spark'-like?</p>
