How to write an example MapR Drill JDBC code which connects to a MapR-Drill Cluster with MapRSASL authentication

Goal:

How to write an example MapR Drill JDBC code which connects to a MapR-Drill Cluster with MapRSASL authentication.
The reason why we are using Simba Drill JDBC Driver instead of open source JDBC Driver is:
The open-source JDBC driver is not tested on the MapR Converged Data Platform. The driver supports Kerberos and Plain authentication mechanisms, but does not support the MapR-SASL authentication mechanism.

How to dig into the Kafka Streams/ksql's statestore in RocksDB

Goal:

By default, Kafka Streams and ksql use RocksDB as the internal state store.
This feature is used for:

1. an internally created and compacted changelog topic (for fault-tolerance)
2. one (or multiple) RocksDB instances (for cached key-value lookups).

Thus, in case of starting/stopping applications and rewinding/reprocessing, this internal data needs to get managed correctly.
More design details can be found in Kafka Streams Internal Data Management.
This article explains step by step on how to use tools "ldb" and "sst_dump" to dig deeper into the RocksDB state stores.
