drill_up: Start a Dockerized Drill Instance

Description

This is a "get you up and running quickly" helper function as it only runs a standalone mode Drill instance and is optionally removed after the container is stopped. You should customize your own Drill containers based on the one at Drill's Docker Hub.

Usage

drill_up(
  image = "drill/apache-drill:1.16.0",
  container_name = "drill",
  data_dir = getwd(),
  remove = TRUE
)
drill_down(id)

Arguments

image

Drill image to use. Must be a valid image from Drill's Docker Hub. Defaults to most recent Drill docker image.

container_name

naem for the container. Defaults to "drill".

data_dir

valid path to a place where your data is stored; defaults to the value of getwd(). This will be path.expand()ed and mapped to /data in the container. This will be mapped to the dfs storage plugin as the dfs.d workspace.

remove

remove the Drill container instance after it's stopped? Defaults to TRUE since you shouldn't be relying on this in production.

the id of the Drill container

Value

a stevedore docker object (invisibly) which you are responsible for killing with the $stop() function or from the Docker command line (in interactive mode the docker container ID is printed as well).

Details

The path specified in data_dir will be mapped inside the container as /data and a new dfs storage workspace will created (dfs.d) that maps to /data and is writable.

Use drill_down() to stop a running Drill container by container id (full or partial).

Examples

Run this code

# NOT RUN {
drill_up(data_dir = "~/Data")
# }
