Hi Ramya, I’m not familiar with the RPM/DEB packages for Apache Drill. However, you can certainly use your second option below: extract the Drill archive. For Apache Drill, the archive is self-contained.
As you noted, in either case, you must merge your config files. - Drill-override.conf: back up your old file, copy it into your new Drill install. - drill-env.sh: This one is a bit trickier for 1.8. Identify any changes you your self added. Copy these into the new Drill 1.8 file. The reason for the drill-env.sh change is that, in 1.8, we removed the Drill defaults from this file. Going forward, it will contain only your own site-specific settings. When upgrading from 1.7 (or earlier) to 1.8, you need to copy your settings to the new file. After that, just like drill-override.conf, you can simply copy the file from one release to the next. If you created any UDF jars, you must also copy those from your old Drill to the new one.
