To use the Drill JDBC Driver with SQuirreL, verify that your system meets the prerequisites and then download and configure the driver.
Prerequisites
Verify that the system meets the following prerequisites:
- Java Runtime Environment (JRE), version 7.0 or later, installed on each machine where you plan to use the JDBC driver.
- Drill installed in distributed mode on one or multiple nodes in a cluster with data sources configured. See Connecting Drill to Data Sources.
- Verify that the system can resolve the hostnames of the ZooKeeper nodes of the Drill

edit the hosts file to include the hostnames and IP addresses of all the ZooKeeper nodes
used with the Drill cluster.
