Hi All, We just issued a PR #1011 [1] to run Drill as a YARN task. Drill-on-YARN (DoY) provides a simple command-line tool to launch a Drill cluster under YARN. Command line and web UI tools let you monitor, resize and stop your cluster. DoY monitors your cluster, watching for any Drillbit failures, and restarts replacement Drillbits automatically.
DoY has been in use by several shops over the last year on MapR’s version of YARN; we are now making it available for Apache YARN users. We hope to get feedback on any operational differences between the two YARN versions; though we foresee few problems. If you have a need to run Drill under YARN, give DoY a try. The code itself is built with the current version of Drill, but it can launch any version of Drill from 1.8 onwards. To try DoY, simply download the PR then build Drill as per the instructions on the Apache Drill website [2]. A USAGE.md file provides a complete user’s guide. For those who want to know how DoY works, a README.md file explains the internals. Thanks, - Paul [1] https://github.com/apache/drill/pull/1011 [2] http://drill.apache.org/docs/compiling-drill-from-source/
