Running Apache Drill Cluster in Windows?

votes

I'm just playing around with Apache Drill for the first time using the nice documentation from the Apache site. I was able to play with it in embedded mode using the sqlline.bat file to start it. However when it comes to distributed mode, the instructions are specific to a unix system - running a Drillbit using a shell command.

Is there anyway for me to play around with Apache Drill cluster using two Windows boxes?

If so, how do I start the Drillbits on each client without being able to run that drillbit.sh file?

Zookeeper is one of the prerequisites for running drill in cluster mode. Do you have zookeeper on your Windows boxes? - Dev

The shell command can be run through Cygwin. Install it and add the path to it's bin directory to your PATH environment variable. Now assuming that you have the Zookeeper installed and set up on both your windows boxes, open up a command prompt on each box, navigate to the Apache Drill's bin directory and run the following command:

sh ./drillbit.sh start

Running the drillbits without the drillbit.sh is a hell of a task as the script resolves your complete classpath and declares some environment variables like HADOOP_HOME for execution to proceed.
