+===== A contribution to Apache DRILL =====
+Google's research lab has produced a remarkable number of software
+systems for the analytics of Big Data:
+  * [[|Map/Reduce]] for offline, batch-oriented data analysis over arbitrary datasets
+  * [[http://googleresearch.blogspot.be/2009/06/large-scale-graph-computing-at-google.html|Pregel]] for offline analysis over graph-structured datasets
+  * [[http://research.google.com/pubs/pub36632.html|Dremel]] for on-line analysis over structured datasets
+For Map/Reduce and Pregel, the Apache Software foundation has
+previously constructed open source implementations ([[http://hadoop.apache.org/|Hadoop]],
+[[https://giraph.apache.org/|Giraph]]). For Dremel, a project is
+currently underway to provide an Open Source implementation (known as
+[[http://incubator.apache.org/drill/index.html|Apache Drill]]).
+The goal of this thesis is to (1) study the current architecture of Apache
+Drill, (2) compare this with the state of the art in query processing
+for structured datasets; (3) contribute to the development of the
+Drill implementation.
+Students interested in this MFE are highly advised to follow the
+course {{http://cs.ulb.ac.be/public/teaching/infoh417|INFOH417
+Database Systems Architecture}} for a background on query processing
+in traditional database management systems.
