Hello TJ, welcome to the Drill community!

To be honest we only recently enabled drill to run distributed queries in
EC2 and other cloud providers, by removing a dependency that required UDP
multicast, a feature unsupported between nodes on EC2 and Google CE. As
such, we have not done a lot of testing on EC2, but we have confirmed that
following the install procedure for deploying Drill in a clustered
environment works with a series of EC2 nodes, that have the appropriate
ports opened between them. We are in the process of trying to prepare a
release for an apache vote, but the current tip of master is stable and you
can run a build to use the new multicast free version of Drill.

Late last year a few members of our community did create scripts for
deploying Drill on EMR specifically. As we were unable to run distributed
queries in this environment, we have not prioritized maintaining the script
for a number of months. If you are willing to get your hands dirty, you can
see if the script still works with the current version and report back your
results. I will also try to contact Timothy Chen, the committer who drove
the effort, to see if he would be interested in helping to update the
script if need be.
