Only 'cubestore' or 'memory' are supported for cacheAndQueue

Error message

Only 'cubestore' or 'memory' are supported for cacheAndQueueDriver option, passed: ${cacheAndQueueDriver}

What it means

A startup guard in QueryOrchestrator's constructor: detectQueueAndCacheDriver returned a value outside the allowed set, so the requested cacheAndQueueDriver option is unsupported. It duplicates the same validation done in QueryCache/QueryQueue and fails before any queue is created. The input at fault is a cacheAndQueueDriver option string other than 'memory' or 'cubestore'.

Solutions

1. Set CUBEJS_CACHE_AND_QUEUE_DRIVER (or the equivalent option) to 'memory' or 'cubestore'
2. Check detectQueueAndCacheDriver() — an external driver type can be inferred as the cache/queue driver; use CubeStoreDriver or keep external store separate
3. Correct typos in the driver option value
