             Summary: Error during udf area creation due to 
NullPointerException during drillbit startup
                 Key: DRILL-5280
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DRILL-5280
             Project: Apache Drill
          Issue Type: Bug
         Environment: Windows 7 64-bit
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_111-b14)
            Reporter: Usman Shahid


I tried to start drill in distributed mode but ran into this:
`Exception in thread "main"

`
The complete stack trace for the `NullPointerException` is:
`
Thread [main] (Suspended (exception NullPointerException))      
        owns: Object  (id=57)   
        ProcessBuilder.start() line: 1012       
        Shell$ShellCommandExecutor(Shell).runCommand() line: 483        
        Shell$ShellCommandExecutor(Shell).run() line: 456       
        Shell$ShellCommandExecutor.execute() line: 722  
        Shell.execCommand(Map<String,String>, String[], long) line: 815 
        Shell.execCommand(String...) line: 798  
        FileUtil.execCommand(File, String...) line: 1097        
        RawLocalFileSystem$DeprecatedRawLocalFileStatus.loadPermissionInfo() 
line: 654  
        RawLocalFileSystem$DeprecatedRawLocalFileStatus.getPermission() line:

        RemoteFunctionRegistry.createArea(FileSystem, String, String) line: 232 
        RemoteFunctionRegistry.prepareAreas(DrillConfig) line: 208      
        RemoteFunctionRegistry.init(DrillConfig, PersistentStoreProvider, 
ClusterCoordinator) line: 105 
        Drillbit.run() line: 126        
        Drillbit.start(DrillConfig, RemoteServiceSet) line: 292 
        Drillbit.start(StartupOptions) line: 272        
        Drillbit.main(String[]) line: 268       
`
To further pinpoint it, the call to `Shell.getGetPermissionCommand()` at 
`RawLocalFileSystem$DeprecatedRawLocalFileStatus.loadPermissionInfo() ` returns 
a `new String[] { WINUTILS, "ls", "-F" }`. It's this `WINUTILS` that's null 
because my system doesn't have hadoop installed (nor do I intend to use it). 
The shortest workaround to this is to have a `HADOOP_HOME` environment variable 
pointing towards the `winutils.exe` bin directory.
