Andries Engelbrecht commented on DRILL-4239:
--------------------------------------------
Kristine Hahn the issue here relates only to actually running Drill on a 32bit
Windows machine, which is a poor platform choice with likely minimal user
adoption (compared to 64bit Windows).
However the ODBC drivers is a different topic as it for client systems, the
32bit and 64bit ODBC drivers works on a 64bit Windows machine as certain client
software may need a 32bit ODBC driver.
> Update documentation to reflect 64bit requirement to run Drill on Windows.

> Winutils.exe has been compiled to run on the 64 bit version of windows. For
> this reason, some part of the documentation that suggest that Drill can run
> on 32bit Windows must be fixed. Furthermore, although few user run 64 bit
> windows these days, it would be helpful to make this requirement more
> explicit. In particular, rapid installation of Windows on VirtualBox will
> often result in 32 bit version being installed by default, since it's the
> preselected default during installation process.
