             Summary: Document Drillbit launch options
                 Key: DRILL-4587
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DRILL-4587
             Project: Apache Drill
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Documentation
            Reporter: Paul Rogers


Drill provides the drillbit.sh script to launch Drill. When Drill is run in production environments, or when managed by a tool such as Mesos or YARN, customers have many options to customize the launch options. We should document this information as below.

The user can configure Drill launch in one of two ways, depending on version.

$DRILL_HOME/conf/drill-env.sh allows the user to set environment variables that control the Drill launch. See the comment below for the list of these variables.

In Drill 1.7 and later, the administrator can set Drill configuration options directly on the launch command line in the form:

drillbit.sh start -Dvariable=value

For example, to control the control port:

drillbit.sh start -Ddrill.exec.http.port=8099
