Hi, all.   Drill and OpenShift newbie here.

Has anyone successfully deployed a Drill Docker container to an OpenShift 
environment?

While there is information about Drill Docker, there seems to be zero 
information about OpenShift in particular.

Per the instructions at drill.apache.org/docs/running-drill-on-docker, I pulled 
the Drill Docker image from Docker Hub, and then pushed it to our OpenShift 
environment.  But when I tried to deploy it, I immediately ran into an error 
about /opt/drill/conf/drill-override.conf not being readable.

I understand why the problem is happening (because of who OpenShift runs the 
container as), so I downloaded the source from GitHub and modified the 
Dockerfile to include:

    RUN chgrp -R 0 /opt/drill && chmod -R g=u /opt/drill

so that all of /opt/drill would be available to everyone.  But then 'docker 
build' kept failing, giving the error:

    Non-resolvable parent POM for org.apache.drill:drill-root:1.18.0-SNAPSHOT:
    Could not transfer artifact org.apache:apache:pom:21

I tried researching that error but couldn't figure out what was going on.  So I 
finally decided to start trying to mount persistent volumes, creating one PV 
for /opt/drill/conf (and then copying the default drill-override.conf there) 
and one PV for /opt/drill/log.

Now the container gets much further, but eventually fails on something Hadoop 
related.  I'm not trying to do anything with Hadoop, so I don't know what 
that's about, but it says I don't have HADOOP_HOME set.

Hopefully I can figure out the remaining steps I need (an environment variable? 
 more configs?), but I was wondering if anyone else had already successfully 
figured out how to deploy to OpenShift, or might know why the 'docker build' 
fails with that error?

For what it's worth, I copied over only that drill-override.conf and nothing 
else.  And I did not set any Drill environment variables in OpenShift.  I'm 
basically trying to run the "vanilla" Drill Docker as-is.

Thanks for any help!

Ron
