Hi, We have started to evaluate Apache Drill.
Using multiple nodes/VMs we wish to stream JSON data (via Apache Storm) to persistent local filesystem (with a consistent dir structure so we can define various storage plugins) and then use Drill to run distributed SQL queries across these JSON files. If at all possible we don't wish to install Hadoop HDFS/Hbase/Hive. SQL execution would be hopefully be via ODBC and/or JDBC. So far , embedded drill experiments work just great but the data processed is local to the sqlline. Using SQL against JSON works really well. Unfortunately, experiments to run distributed SQL queries have (so far) not been successful. We have tried * a 3 node VM based system with a 3 node zookeeper quorum + 1 drillbit per node * a 3 node VM based system with a single zookeeper instance (covering all 3 nodes) + again 1 drillbit per node and 'select * from sys.drillbits' from sqlline outputs all 3 drill bits in both case. Likewise, zookeeper confirms the existence of the drill cluster. But we've not managed to run a distributed query. We have tested against both the 0.5 release and a 0.6 build on 64 bit Ubuntu 14.04. So far, we can only connect via ODBC to a specific drillbit. We cannot get the JDBC driver (using squirrel) to work. Also ODBC to a zookeeper quorum doesn't appear to work. But we have tested client access using telnet IP_ADDR 2181 and that's OK. So my questions are : * Would we expect to be able to run a distr SQL query by connecting via JDBC direct to specific drillbit ? * Would we expect to be able to run a distr SQL query by connecting via ODBC direct to specific drillbit ? * Would we expect to be able to run a distr SQL query by connecting via JDBC via a zookeeper quorum connection ? * Would we expect to be able to run a distr SQL query by connecting via ODBC via a zookeeper quorum connection ? * How can we identify the use of multiple nodes due to a distributed SQL query via explain plan output or the JSON QEP ? * Any ideas or issues why we can't connect via the a zookeeper quorum connection ? Any help or insights you can give would be most appreciated. Thanks.
