Hi Devs
DRILL-8155 seeks to expand the authentication modes supported by Drill
plugins, adding features similar to what may be found in Trino while not
distorting the behaviour of the plugin registry. It's a tricky area
which we sought to subdivide leading to the merging of #2516 [1] on 27
April after a clean CI run and a normal review. Unfortunately we
nevertheless introduced some bugs in the process and currently the
POSTing a new storage config to the REST API is broken. There may also
be other problems. In short, my messages are these.
1. While normal Drill usage generally works fine, please avoid the HEAD
of the master branch for anything except development work for now.
2. Sorry about the inconvenience, we're working to get things ship shape
again as quickly as possible.
3. Work on a 1.20.1 branch has begun and stable way to obtain bug fixes
will hopefully arrive soon.
4. Contacts for DRILL-8155 are Charles and me.
