Drill should work on Cloudera and other distributions. You can refer to https://drill.apache.org/docs/file-system-storage-plugin/ for details on configuring a distributed file system plug-in.
Can you try specifying the IP address of the primary namenode instead of "nameservice-ha" in the DFS storage plug-in? I understand that you have HA configured, but I don't think there is a way to specify that in Drill, afaik. I remember reading in one of the old threads here that you could copy the hdfs-site.xml into Drill classpath - but I'm not sure how exactly that works. Someone else can comment. -Abhishek On Wed, Aug 19, 2015 at 11:08 AM, Naveen Madhire <vmadh...@umail.iu.edu> wrote: > Hi, > > I installed Apache Drill to run on a Cloudera cluster which has HA. > > However, hive queries are failing with "Unknown Host exception - > nameservice-ha" error because Drill is unable to resolve nameservice-ha > which is part of Cloudera. > > Is this a known issue or I can do some setup to make it work? > > > Thanks, > Naveen >
