----------------------------------

             Summary: Storage plugin directory location visibility in installation guide
                 Key: DRILL-4838
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DRILL-4838
             Project: Apache Drill
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Documentation
    Affects Versions: 1.7.0
         Environment: Windows 7 64 bits
            Reporter: Arnaud Linz
            Priority: Minor


For security reasons, my system prevents any user (but the administrator) to write at the C:\ level. 
When following the installation instruction and starting Drill embedded for windows, it tries to create a storage in /tmp (it does not use the environment variables such as TEMP or TMP) and fails.

There is a variable sys.store.provider.local.path that can be set to solve that problem, but it lacks visibility in the installation guide (it is documented further in the configuration section).
