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.
