             Summary: Add support for automatically disabling broken storage 
plugins
                 Key: DRILL-8314
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DRILL-8314
             Project: Apache Drill
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Storage - Other
    Affects Versions: 1.20.2
            Reporter: James Turton
             Fix For: 2.0.0


Enabled storage plugins may malfunction for different reasons, e.g. they have 
been misconfigured or their remote data source has gone offline. Depending on 
the plugin's implementation, this could cause it to fail to return optimizer 
rules or register schemas. In some cases this can have a wider impact, e.g. 
unconditioned queries against the info schema will fail if a single plugin is 
failing in registerSchemas.

Rather than us swallowing such errors and silently returning a subset of 
results, this Jira proposes a new feature with a BOOT option toggle that, when 
enabled, means that a broken plugin will still cause a query failure but it 
will also disable the broken plugin and inform the user that is has done so. 
Knowing what has just happened, the user can choose to reissue the query 
knowing that the broken plugin is now disabled or they might choose to 
invesitgate the problem affecting the broken plugin instead.
