> 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. (Another JIRA after the option is available)
