Github user kkhatua commented on the issue: https://github.com/apache/drill/pull/1239 @paul-rogers DoY is no more a MapR-only feature, and if it helps to have Drill self-enforce, this works. If YARN is able to enforce for Drill, the user need not specify the settings in their `drill-env.sh`. I see https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/YARN-810 as being an open issue. (Source: [Issue List](https://issues.apache.org/jira/issues/?jql=project%20%3D%20YARN%20AND%20status%20in%20(Open%2C%20"Patch%20Available")%20AND%20text%20~%20"cgroup"%20ORDER%20BY%20key%20%2C%20status%20ASC) ). So, I probably don't need to do any explicit checks for hadoop distros and documentation should be sufficient to address this, IMO.
