Kunal Khatua reassigned DRILL-4699: ----------------------------------- Resolution: Fixed Assignee: Kunal Khatua (was: Sudheesh Katkam) Fix Version/s: 1.14.0 > Add Description Column in sys.options > ------------------------------------- > > Key: DRILL-4699 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DRILL-4699 > Project: Apache Drill > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Server, Documentation > Affects Versions: 1.6.0 > Reporter: John Omernik > Assignee: Kunal Khatua > Priority: Major > Fix For: 1.14.0 > > > select * from sys.options provides a user with a strong understanding of what > options are available to Drill. These options are not well documented. Some > options are "experimental" other options have a function only in specific > cases (writers vs readers for example). If we had a large text field for > description, we could enforce documentation of the settings are option > creation time, and the description of the setting could change as the > versions change (i.e. when an option graduates to being supported from being > experimental, it would be changed in the version the user is using. I.e. when > they run select * from sys.options, they know the exact state of the option > every time they query. It could also facilitate better self documentation via > QA on pull requests "Did you update the sys.options.desc?" This makes it > easier for users, and admins in the use of Drill in an enterprise. > The first step is adding the field, and then going back and filling in the > desc for each option.
