The time seems pretty long for that file size. What type of file is
it?
Tab delimited UTF-8 text.
I left the query to run overnight to see if it would complete, but 24
hours for an import like this would indeed be too long.
Is the CTAS running single threaded?
In the first hour, with this being the only client connected to the
cluster, I observed activity on all 4 nodes.
Is multi-threaded query execution the default? I would not have changed
anything deliberately to force single thread execution.

Just testing with that single 44GB source file currently, and my test
cluster is made from 4 nodes, each with 8 CPU cores, 32GB RAM, a 6TB
Ext4 volume (RAID-10).
Drill defaults left as come in v1.0. I will be adjusting memory and
retrying the CTAS.
I know I can / should assign individual disks to HDFS, but as a test
cluster there are apps that expect data volumes to work on. A
dedicated Hadoop production cluster would have a disk layout specific
to the task.

Just check the drillbit.log and drillbit.out files in the log

Before adjusting memory, see if that is an issue first. It was for
me, but as Jason mentioned there can be other causes as well.
You adjust memory allocation in the drill-env.sh files, and have to
restart the drill bits.

To make sure I am adjusting the correct config, these are heap
parameters within the Drill configure path, not for Hadoop or
Zookeeper?

There should be no upper limit on the size of the tables you can
create
with Drill. Be advised that Drill does currently operate entirely
optimistically in regards to available resources. If a network
connection
between two drillbits fails during a query, we will not currently
re-schedule the work to make use of remaining nodes and network
connections
that are still live. While we have had a good amount of success
using Drill
for data conversion, be aware that these conditions could cause
long
running queries to fail.
That being said, it isn't the only possible cause for such a
failure. In
the case of a network failure we would expect to see a message
returned to
you that part of the query was unsuccessful and that it had been
cancelled.
Andries has a good suggestion in regards to checking the heap
memory, this
should also be detected and reported back to you at the CLI, but
we may be
failing to propagate the error back to the head node for the
query. I
believe writing parquet may still be the most heap-intensive
operation in
Drill, despite our efforts to refactor the write path to use
direct memory
instead of on-heap for large buffers needed in the process of
creating
parquet files.

Is 300MM records too much to do in a single CTAS statement?

It represents one month of data, 4 key columns and 38 numeric
measure
columns, which could also be partitioned daily. The test here was
to create
monthly Parquet files to see how the min/max stats on Parquet
chunks help
with range select performance.
Instead of a small number of large monthly RDBMS tables, I am
attempting
to determine how many Parquet files should be used with Drill /
HDFS.

What approach can I take to determine what is happening (or
not)?
