## Advanced topics
* The [DTail Query Language](./querylanguage.md) is the starting point to dig deeper into DTail's own SQL-like mapreduce language for extraction/aggregation stats from log files.
+* The [Interactive Query Reload](../README.md#interactive-query-reload) section in the main README documents `:reload`, `:show`, `:help`, `:quit`, capability fallback on mixed-version servers, and session reuse semantics.
* [Log Formats](./logformats.md) explains how to create your own custom log format for use with mapreduce queries.
* Check out the [Testing Guide](./testing.md) for unit and integration testing.
