I'm new to drill and trying to get up and running. My goal is to access
drill from a JDBC client. I'm a bit confused when starting drill. If I use
drill-embedded, it appears it only allows one connection and that
connection is started along with drill. So if instead I try to run in
distributed mode, I have modified drill-override.conf like this:
drill.exec: {
cluster-id: "drillbits1",
zk.connect: "myhost:2181"
}
and start drillbit(?) with this:
drillbit.sh start
I get a "starting drillbit..." message, but cannot connect in any way to
it.
If I try to connect using sqlline, it fails with "Connection timed out":
sqlline -u jdbc:drill:zk=myhost:2181
Same problems if I try to connect using the drill-conf utility (which
appears to be nothing other than an invocation of sqlline)
No matter how I start drill, it doesn't appear any ports are opened for
the process. For example, `netstat -a | grep 2181` doesn't yield any
results, and the http port 8047 that works when I start in embedded mode
doesn't work in distributed mode.
I feel like I am missing something fundamental to all of this, although
I'm trying to follow the Getting Started documentation. I've seen
references to "making sure you start Zookeeper". How do I do that? I find
lots of details about starting drillbit, but nothing about starting
Zookeeper.
Thanks in advance for any clue that can help me move forward.
