**Describe the bug** My JAVA_PATH set to "/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/JavaAppletPlugin.plugin/Contents/Home", when run `./drillbit.sh start`, drill cannot startup and report error: ` /Users/Chester/Gwssi/ApacheDrill/apache-drill-1.19.0-SNAPSHOT/bin/runbit: line 109: /Library/Internet: No such file or directory` `/Users/Chester/Gwssi/ApacheDrill/apache-drill-1.19.0-SNAPSHOT/bin/runbit: line 109: exec: /Library/Internet: cannot execute: No such file or directory` **To Reproduce** Steps to reproduce the behavior: 1. set JAVA_PATH to a jdk path which contains whitespace: `export JAVA_PATH=/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/JavaAppletPlugin.plugin/Contents/Home` 2. startup drill: `./bin/drillbit.sh start` 3. See error in log file: `log/drillbit.out` **Expected behavior** Drill cannot startup normally. **Screenshots**   **Desktop (please complete the following information):** - MacOS Big Sur 11.2.3 **Additional context** print the command of line 109 in runbit: `echo exec $BITCMD` See the print result in `log/drillbit.out`:  We can see that the whitespace in java path doesn't come up with a backslash escape, so that `exec` cannot find the correct java path. After I set the java path without white space, like: `/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_171.jdk/Contents/Home` Drill startup process back to normal. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
