Description

I am trying to launch a Drillbit as a server from Eclipse. I continue to stumble through the issues.

Drill does not help in that it crashes with NPEs due to the misconfiguration.

Crash 1: WorkManager:

  public void close() throws Exception {
    ...
    getContext().close();
  }

getContext() is null.

Crash 2: SystemOptionManager:

  public void close() throws Exception {
    options.close();
  }

options is null.
