             Summary: Scripts drill_config.sh,  drillbit.sh, and drill-embedded fail when accessed via a symbolic link
                 Key: DRILL-4921
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DRILL-4921
             Project: Apache Drill
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components:  Server
    Affects Versions: 1.8.0
         Environment: The drill-embedded on the Mac; the other files on Linux
            Reporter: Boaz Ben-Zvi
            Priority: Minor
             Fix For: 1.9.0


  Several of the drill... scripts under $DRILL_HOME/bin use "pwd" to produce the local path of that script. However "pwd" defaults to "logical" (i.e. the same as "pwd -L"); so if accessed via a symbolic link, that link is used verbatim in the path, which can produce wrong paths (e.g., when followed by "cd ..").

For example, creating a symbolic link and using it (on the Mac):
$  cd ~/drill
$  ln -s $DRILL_HOME/bin 
$  bin/drill-embedded
ERROR: Drill config file missing: /Users/boazben-zvi/drill/conf/drill-override.conf -- Wrong config dir?

Similarly on Linux the CLASS_PATH gets set wrong (when running "drillbit.sh start" via a symlink).

Solution: need to replace all the "pwd" in all the scripts with "pwd -P" which produces the Physical path. (Or replace a preceding "cd" with "cd -P" which does the same).

Relevant scripts:
=============
$ cd bin; grep pwd *
drillbit.sh:bin=`cd "$bin">/dev/null; pwd`
drillbit.sh:  echo "cwd:" `pwd`
drill-conf:bin=`cd "$bin">/dev/null; pwd`
drill-config.sh:home=`cd "$bin/..">/dev/null; pwd`
drill-config.sh:      DIR="$( cd -P "$( dirname "$SOURCE" )" && pwd )"
drill-config.sh:    JAVA_HOME="$( cd -P "$( dirname "$SOURCE" )" && cd .. && pwd )"
drill-embedded:bin=`cd "$bin">/dev/null; pwd`
drill-localhost:bin=`cd "$bin">/dev/null; pwd`
submit_plan:bin=`cd "$bin">/dev/null; pwd`
