Note:
The SET CLUSTER SETTING statement is unrelated to the other SET TRANSACTION and SET (session variable) statements.Required Privileges
Only the root user can modify cluster settings.

Examples
Change the Default Distributed Execution Parameter
You can configure a cluster so that new sessions automatically try to run queries in a distributed fashion:
> SET CLUSTER SETTING sql.defaults.distsql = 1;
You can also disable distributed execution for all new sessions:
> SET CLUSTER SETTING sql.defaults.distsql = 0;
Disable Automatic Diagnostic Reporting
You can opt out of automatic diagnostic reporting of usage data to Cockroach Labs using the following:
> SET CLUSTER SETTING diagnostics.reporting.enabled = false;
> SHOW CLUSTER SETTING diagnostics.reporting.enabled;
