Arnaud Linz created DRILL-4838: ---------------------------------- Summary: Storage plugin directory location visibility in installation guide Key: DRILL-4838 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DRILL-4838 Project: Apache Drill Issue Type: Improvement Components: Documentation Affects Versions: 1.7.0 Environment: Windows 7 64 bits Reporter: Arnaud Linz Priority: Minor
For security reasons, my system prevents any user (but the administrator) to write at the C:\ level. When following the installation instruction and starting Drill embedded for windows, it tries to create a storage in /tmp (it does not use the environment variables such as TEMP or TMP) and fails. There is a variable sys.store.provider.local.path that can be set to solve that problem, but it lacks visibility in the installation guide (it is documented further in the configuration section). -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
