[jira] [Commented] (DRILL-1724) Can't use ~ to specify home directory in table path

["Chris Westin (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DRILL-1724?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=14391278#comment-14391278 ] 

Chris Westin commented on DRILL-1724:
-------------------------------------

It's not clear that supporting this is a good idea. What if the SQL strings are in a script, and the script is run by different people? What if the query has fragments that get distributed across multiple nodes, and the notion of "home directory" doesn't apply because the issuing user doesn't have a home directory on the remote nodes?

> Drill throws an error when there's a tilda (~) in the path (which was intended to refer to the user's home directory). This should work (and even if not, the error message should explain what the issue is).
