    - Configuring Drill
      Lists the data-fabric-specific configuration for Drill.
      - Adding a Drill Node to a Cluster
      - Configuring Drill Memory
        A system administrator can modify the amount of system memory that Warden allocates to the Drill service on each node in the warden.drill-bits.conf file. Drill users, with file permissions, can modify the amount of heap and direct memory allocated to the Drill service on each node in the drill-env.sh file.
      - Configuring the Parquet Block Size
        The default value for the store.parquet.block-size parameter is 268435456 (256 MB), the same size as file system chunk sizes. In previous versions of Drill, the default value was 536870912 (512 MB).
      - Configuring Multiple Drill Clusters and Designating One Cluster as an OJAI Distributed Query Service
        As of Core 6.0 and Drill 1.11, you can run operational queries through the OJAI Distributed Query Service, as well as analytical queries through Drill. If you want to run operational and analytical workloads in your cluster, you must configure multiple Drill clusters within the cluster and then configure a Drill cluster as the OJAI Distributed Query Service. Restricting each workload to its own cluster improves query performance.
        Step 1: Plan the Clusters
        Decide which nodes in the cluster you want to run Drill and which nodes you want to run the OJAI Distributed Query Service.
        Step 2: Manually Install Drill on All Nodes
        Manually install Drill on all nodes, including the nodes designated to run the OJAI Distributed Query Service.
        Step 3: Define Node Topologies
        Node topologies restrict data to a designated set of nodes.
        Step 4: Create Volumes
        Volumes organize data and manage cluster performance. Create and mount a volume to each of the topologies (Drill clusters) you created.
        Step 5: Configure Multiple Drill Clusters
        Update the /opt/mapr/drill/drill-<version>/conf/drill-override.conf file on each Drill node that is part of a cluster with the cluster ID and a ZooKeeper entry to define the Drill cluster. Each Drill cluster should have a unique cluster ID and ZooKeeper entry to separate the clusters.
        Step 6: Configure Workspaces
        You must configure a workspace on one Drill node in each Drill cluster that points to the volume directory where data is stored. When you create a workspace, you must include the volume mount point.
        Step 7: Register a Drill Cluster as an OJAI Distributed Query Service
        You can select any of the configured Drill clusters to act as the OJAI Distributed Query Service provider for operational queries, by running the queryservice setconfig command.
      - Configuring a Multitenant Cluster
      - Configuring the ZooKeeper PStore Location
        By default, the ZooKeeper PStore offloads query profile data to maprfs:///apps/drill/profiles. You can override the default location in the drill-override.conf file.
      - Configuring HBase Persistent Storage Tables
        Describes how to configure Drill to persist query profile data to a table that is unaffected by the TTL duration.
      - Configuring cgroups to Control CPU Usage
        Starting in Drill 1.13, you can configure a Linux cgroup (control group) to enforce CPU limits on the Drillbit service running on a node. Linux cgroups enable you to limit system resources to defined user groups or processes. You can use the cgconfig service to configure a Drill cgroup to control CPU usage and then set the CPU limits for the Drill cgroup on each Drill node in the /etc/cgconfig.conf file.
      - Drill Properties
        Describes how to use Drill properties and options.
    - Working with Drill
    - Securing Drill
      An administrator can install Drill with the default security configuration or manually configure custom security for Drill.
    - Data Fabric Drill Drivers
      HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric provides Drill ODBC and JDBC drivers that you can download and use to connect Drill to BI tools. The drivers are updated periodically to include support for new functionality in Drill.
    - Drill Configuration Files
      The Drill installation includes configuration files with start-up options that you can modify prior to starting Drill.
    - Mask Sensitive Data in Query Logs and Profiles
      Starting in Drill 1.20.2 (EEP 9.0.0 installed on Core 7.1.0), you can define a set of rules in a JSON file to mask sensitive data in Drill query logs and query profiles.
    - Monitoring Drill Metrics
    - Optimizing Queries with Indexes
      HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric Database provides a highly scalable key-value database platform on which you can run SQL queries using Drill. As a part of the 6.0 release, HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric Database natively supports indexes on secondary fields in JSON tables.

Step 7: Register a Drill Cluster as an OJAI Distributed Query Service

You can select any of the configured Drill clusters to act as the OJAI Distributed Query Service provider for operational queries, by running the queryservice setconfig command.

When you register the Drill cluster as the OJAI Distributed Query Service, adjust the memory setting on each node. The default Drill memory setting of 13 GB is unnecessarily high for the OJAI Distributed Query Service, which only requires ~ 5 GB. You must restart the Drillbits after you update the memory settings.

Registering a Drill Cluster as the OJAI Distributed Query Service

To register a Drill Cluster as an OJAI Distributed Query Service, run the following command:

maprcli cluster queryservice setconfig -enabled true -clusterid <name_of_cluster> -storageplugin dfs -znode <zk_setting>

For example, drillbits2 and drill2 are the cluster ID and ZooKeeper settings used in examples in previous steps. For these configurations, the command is:

maprcli cluster queryservice setconfig -enabled true -clusterid drillbits2 -storageplugin dfs -znode drill2

See queryservice setconfig for more information about the command.

Configuring Memory for the OJAI Distributed Query Service

Modify the memory settings on each node in the OJAI Distributed Query Service cluster and then restart Drill. See Configuring Drill Memory for instructions.
