Description

Drill determines data format looking at the extension. Currently we don't have a fallback data format in case we are unable to determine one - if for instance data file has no extension. In such cases `table not found` exception is thrown. This JIRA proposes specifying a fallback data format per workspace. Workspace level data format fallback should cover major use cases.
