-1 The binary artifact has an unknown and undocumented install procedure.
WHen I crack open the binary artifact, I see this: ted:apache-drill-1.0.0-m1$ ls bin conf jars lib ted:apache-drill-1.0.0-m1$ ls bin drill-config.sh drillbit.sh runbit sqlline submit_plan That seems kinda plausible. When I run sqlline, though, I get this ted:apache-drill-1.0.0-m1$ bin/sqlline -u jdbc:drill:schema=parquet-local /Users/tdunning/Downloads/apache-drill-1.0.0-m1/bin/drill-config.sh: line 69: /etc/drill/conf/drill-env.sh: No such file or directory bin/sqlline: line 30: [: /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.7.0_11.jdk/Contents/Home/bin/java: binary operator expected Java not found. This script seems to assume something will be put into /etc/drill. But there is no README or INSTALL file in the top-level, nor is there an obvious install script. My first problem is that I shouldn't have put anything into a system directory like /etc in order to run drill. Many first-time users may be running on machines without root access. Better to look for a local config file as well. My second problem is that even if there is something to do like moving files into /etc, it should be documented in an INSTALL document.
