+/**
+ * Drill has two different config systems each with its own
namespace.First being the HOCON based boot time config
+ * system.This is a hierarchical system where the top layers override the
bottom ones in the following order
+ *
+ * Java System Options
+ * distrib.conf
+ * drill-override.conf
+ * drill-module.conf
+ *
+ * These are the options that are set before the drill starts.But once
drill starts System or session options can be
+ * modified using ALTER SYSTEM/SESSION.Even this system provides
inheritance sytle in the following order
+
+ * Session options
+ * System options
+ * Hardcoded defaults
+
+ * But system/session options have a validator and the validator has a
hard coded default value for every option. In
+ * the current system validators are registered so that system/session
options will always have a default value.
+ * So when a system/session options are not explicitly set or a user
system/session option is null the hardcoded
+ * default was applied since it checks if the option value is null and
returns the default set in the validator.But
+ * the config options set during boot time are never read and honored
since there is no linkage between the two
+ * config systems.It is also evident that there are some places where
there is some ad-hoc linkage between the
+ * two systems.For example, for the code gen compiler, config options are
supposed to be read if the system option
+ * is not null.But as the validator provides the default values config
options are never taken into consideration.

> Key: DRILL-5547
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DRILL-5547
> Project: Apache Drill
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Server
> Affects Versions: 1.10.0
> Reporter: Karthikeyan Manivannan
> Assignee: Venkata Jyothsna Donapati
> Fix For: Future
>
>
> In Drill, session options should take precedence over config options. But
> several of these session options are assigned hard-coded default values when
> the option validators are initialized. Because of this config options will
> never be read and honored even if the user did not specify the session
> option.
> ClassCompilerSelector.JAVA_COMPILER_VALIDATOR uses CompilerPolicy.DEFAULT as
> the default value. This default value gets into the session options map via
> the initialization of validators in SystemOptionManager.
> Now any piece of code that tries to check if a session option is set will
> never see a null, so it will always use that value and never try to look into
> the config options. For example, in the following piece of code from
> ClassCompilerSelector (), the policy will never be read from the config file.
> policy = CompilerPolicy.valueOf((value != null) ?
> value.string_val.toUpperCase() :
> config.getString(JAVA_COMPILER_CONFIG).toUpperCase());
