Hi All,

We discovered a minor glitch in the recent script revisions that can affect 
people who use Drill on the Mac. It will affect you if:

1) You use Drill on your Mac and
2) You use the default Java install and
3) You do not set the JAVA_HOME environment variable

The Drill scripts will try to guess the JAVA_HOME location, will guess wrong, 
and you’ll get an error. There are two workarounds if you hit the issue:

1) Set JAVA_HOME in your environment (which you probably did if you upgraded to 
Java 8.) or
2) Edit $DRILL_HOME/bin/drill-config.sh and delete the line that says “export 
JAVA_HOME”.

This is tracked as DRILL-4870.

Thanks,

- Paul
