I'm trying to run Apache Drill on Windows 7, I have the requirements provided in the documentation and yet when I run it in terminal I get this error :

when I go to tmp folder I find only one file
Does anyone know how to fix this ?
Thank you

Answer 1

delete/move the folder /tmp/drill/sys.storage_plugins & restart the drill. It'll create the folder while starting the drill & now find the issue by comparing old & new.
It worked for me.

Answer 2

Thank you guys,
It worked when I replaced the /tmp/drill/sys.storage_plugins with the files created in the same location from an other computer, I still don't know why this one can't create all of them but at least now it works !

Answer 3

It's 2018 03 02, and this error is STILL appearing for people (like me) trying to install & run Apache Drill in Embedded Mode on Windows 10...
HERE'S WHAT WORKED FOR ME: INSTALL Drill only to
C:\apache-drill-1.12.0*
NOTE that this creates a
C:\tmp\sys.storage_plugins\ directory RATHER than DELETE this directory, I simply MOVED this directory temporarily to my laptop's desktop;
THEN I restarted the Drill Shell as follows...
LAUNCH a common Windows 10 cmd console
cd to C:\apache-drill-1.12.0\bin\ EXECUTE this command:
sqlline sqlline.bat -u "jdbc:drill:zk=local;schema=dfs"
RESULT: I get the following (WONDERFUL) initialization output:
DRILL_ARGS - " sqlline.bat -u jdbc:drill:zk=local;schema=dfs" Calculating HADOOP_CLASSPATH ... HBASE_HOME not detected... Calculating Drill classpath... Picked up _JAVA_OPTIONS: -Xmx512M

FROM here I issued the "SHOW DATABASES;" command... and it WORKED !
