Parth Chandra commented on DRILL-4239:
--------------------------------------
Kristine, can we document this? It's is unlikely that we will be able to
support Drill on 32-bit Windows any time soon.
> Update documentation to reflect 64bit requirement to run Drill on Windows.

>
> Winutils.exe has been compiled to run on the 64 bit version of windows. For
> this reason, some part of the documentation that suggest that Drill can run
> on 32bit Windows must be fixed. Furthermore, although few user run 64 bit
> windows these days, it would be helpful to make this requirement more
> explicit. In particular, rapid installation of Windows on VirtualBox will
> often result in 32 bit version being installed by default, since it's the
> preselected default during installation process.
