Known Issues

  • Due to Drill version changes (3-digit to 4-digit), you cannot upgrade from Drill in EEP 7.0.0 (Drill 1.16.1) to Drill in EEP 7.0.1 (Drill 1.16.1.5) or later. You must perform a new installation of Drill. Alternatively, if you are running Drill on CentOS or RHEL, you can issue the following command as a workaround to upgrade Drill: 
    rpm -Uv --<old-package> <path/to/packages>/*.rpm

    See Upgrading Drill.

Limitations

  • The hive storage plugin in Drill does not support reading the parquet timestamp type with the int64 logical type.
