---------------------------------------
Summary: Cannot set session options using REST API / Web UI
Key: DRILL-7604
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DRILL-7604
Project: Apache Drill
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Web Server
Affects Versions: 1.17.0
Reporter: Dobes Vandermeer
Assignee: Dobes Vandermeer
Some commands are configured using session options that you set using the `SET`
command. However, the `SET` command is not useful in the Web UI and REST API
because the options you set are not preserved in the next request. For
example, when using CREATE TABLE AS you must `SET store.format csv` to set the
output format to comma-separated value, but this is not possible via the REST
API.
I propose that the API be updated to support options that are normally provided
using SET:
# The JSON API accepts an object "options" whose keys are options and values
are option values. The values should have an appropriate type for the given
option, e.g. JSON boolean if the option type is boolean
# The form-based API used by the Web UI scans any provided form fields that
match a valid session option and sets those options, parsing strings according
to the type of option
