Hi Kunal and Praveen, ALTER SYSTEM sets an option value persistently in Zookeeper, which makes the value permanent within that one cluster.
Sounds like you want to persist values in an embedded Drillbit. In this case, there is no Zookeeper. System options get written to the file system, but I don't know if they are persistent. Any embedded Drill users know how this works? One solution is to start Drill as a server, even if it runs on only one node. I don't know, however, if the Drill server mode is supported on Windows. Any Windows users know this? Finally, Kunal is correct. Since about a 18 months ago, the value for system/session options are defined in Drill's config system. See [1]. Although Drill does not encourage this usage, you can customize these values in your drill-override.conf as Kunal suggests. You can try this as a workaround for the fact that you are 1) using Embedded Drill, 2) on Windows. But, Drill is really a distributed tool, so you'd really want to run Drill on Linux as a server, then allow the options to persist in Zookeeper.

Like profiles, I believe, the ALTER SYSTEM commands also have a permanent effect. I'm not sure if there is a way for a user to provide a pre-configured set of parameters to use during startup. You could see if setting these values in DRILL_HOME/conf/drill-override.conf helps. A lot of the values you want are originally set as defaults from an embedded file "drill-module.conf" , and drill-override.conf , well... overrides some of those values. If this doesn't work, you can file an improvement/newFeature JIRA for this, considering this is a nice feature to have. ~ Kunal On Tue, Mar 12, 2019 at 3:18 AM PRAVEEN DEVERACHETTY <pravee...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi Kunal, But where should i keep those statements? is there any drill > startup script that i can run these alter staements? i think these scripts > only on the drill command prompt right? > > Thanks, > Praveen > > On Tue, Mar 12, 2019 at 1:02 PM Kunal Khatua <ku...@apache.org> wrote: > > > Executing an "alter system set param=value" usually persists the value. > > Not sure if that works for an embedded mode. > > Could you try and let us know if that works? > > On 3/11/2019 11:19:13 AM, PRAVEEN DEVERACHETTY <pravee...@gmail.com> > > wrote: > > I am using apache drill on windows platform.
