Description

A user reported at MapR Answers Forum that SQLLine hangs and the Drillbit log contains the following error

2014-12-30 20:34:03,060 [WorkManager-1] ERROR o.apache.drill.exec.work.WorkManager
 - Failure while running wrapper [Foreman: 2b5cf3c7-7705-4a18-3457-2d80f9800eb6] java.lang.NullPointerException: null

This happens if the JDK compiler can not be created during query execution, which results in org.apache.drill.exec.work.foreman.Foreman.rootRunner not getting initialized.

• is duplicated by: DRILL-1918 Drill does very obscure things when a JRE is used instead of a JDK.
