b3d8a507cb IMPALA-5310: Add COMPUTE STATS TABLESAMPLE.
Adds the TABLESAMPLE clause for COMPUTE STATS.

Syntax:
COMPUTE STATS <table> TABLESAMPLE SYSTEM(<number>) [REPEATABLE(<number>)]

Computes and replaces the table-level row count and total file size,
as well as all table-level column statistics. Existing partition-level
row counts are not modified.
The TABLESAMPLE clause can be used to limit the scanned data volume to
a desired percentage. When sampling, the unmodified results of the
COMPUTE STATS queries are sent to the CatalogServer. There, the stats
are extrapolated before storing them into the HMS so as not to confuse
other engines like Hive/SparkSQL which may rely on the shared HMS
fields being accurate.

Limitations
- Only works for HDFS tables
- TABLESAMPLE is not supported for COMPUTE INCREMENTAL STATS
- TABLESAMPLE requires --enable_stats_extrapolation=true

Changes to EXPLAIN
The stored statistics from the HMS are more clearly displayed under
a 'stored statistics' section. Example:

00:SCAN HDFS [functional.alltypes, RANDOM]
   partitions=24/24 files=24 size=478.45KB
   stored statistics:
     table: rows=7300 size=478.45KB
     partitions: 24/24 rows=7300
     columns: all

Testing:
- added new functional tests
- core/hdfs run passed

6c12546561 IMPALA-4833: Compute precise per-host reservation size
Before this change, the per-host reservation size was computed
by the Planner. However, scheduling happens after planning,
so the Planner must assume that all fragments run on all
hosts, and the reservation size is likely much larger than
it needs to be.

This moves the computation of the per-host reservation size
to the BE where it can be computed more precisely. This also
includes a number of plan/profile changes.

64fd0115e5 IMPALA-4862: make resource profile consistent with backend behaviour
This moves away from the PipelinedPlanNodeSet approach of enumerating
sets of concurrently-executing nodes because unions would force
creating many overlapping sets of nodes. The new approach computes
the peak resources during Open() and the peak resources between Open()
and Close() (i.e. while calling GetNext()) bottom-up for each plan node
in a fragment. The fragment resources are then combined to produce the
query resources.

The basic assumptions for the new resource estimates are:
* resources are acquired during or after the first call to Open()
  and released in Close().
* Blocking nodes call Open() on their child before acquiring
  their own resources (this required some backend changes).
* Blocking nodes call Close() on their children before returning
  from Open().
* The peak resource consumption of the query is the sum of the
  independent fragments (except for the parallel join build plans
  where we can assume there will be synchronisation). This is
  conservative but we don't synchronise fragment Open() and Close()
  across exchanges so can't make stronger assumptions in general.

Also compute the sum of minimum reservations. This will be useful
in the backend to determine exactly when all of the initial
reservations have been claimed from a shared pool of initial reservations.

Testing:
* Updated planner tests to reflect behavioural changes.
* Added extra resource requirement planner tests for unions, subplans,
  pipelines of blocking operators, and bushy join plans.
* Added single-node plans to resource-requirements tests. These have
  more complex plan trees inside a single fragment, which is useful
  for testing the peak resource requirement logic.

c4d284f3cc IMPALA-5483: Automatically disable codegen for small queries
This is similar to the single-node execution optimisation, but applies
to slightly larger queries that should run in a distributed manner but
won't benefit from codegen.

This adds a new query option disable_codegen_rows_threshold that
defaults to 50,000. If fewer than this number of rows are processed
by a plan node per impalad, the cost of codegen almost certainly
outweighs the benefit.

Using rows processed as a threshold is justified by a simple
model that assumes the cost of codegen and execution per row for
the same operation are proportional. E.g. if x is the complexity
of the operation, n is the number of rows processed, C is a
constant factor giving the cost of codegen and Ec/Ei are constant
factor giving the cost of codegen'd and interpreted execution and
d, then the cost of the codegen'd operator is C * x + Ec * x * n
and the cost of the interpreted operator is Ei * x * n. Rearranging
means that interpretation is cheaper if n < C / (Ei - Ec), i.e. that
(at least with the simplified model) it makes sense to choose
interpretation or codegen based on a constant threshold. The
model also implies that it is somewhat safer to choose codegen
because the additional cost of codegen is O(1) but the additional
cost of interpretation is O(n).

I ran some experiments with TPC-H Q1, varying the input table size, to
determine what the cut-over point where codegen was beneficial was.
The cutover was around 150k rows per node for both text and parquet.
At 50k rows per node disabling codegen was very beneficial - around
0.12s versus 0.24s.  To be somewhat conservative I set the default
threshold to 50k rows. On more complex queries, e.g. TPC-H Q10, the
cutover tends to be higher because there are plan nodes that process
many fewer than the max rows.

Fix a couple of minor issues in the frontend - the numNodes_
calculation could return 0 for Kudu, and the single node optimization
didn't handle the case where for a scan node with conjuncts, a limit
and missing stats correctly (it considered the estimate still valid.)

Testing:
Updated e2e tests that set disable_codegen to set
disable_codegen_rows_threshold to 0, so that those tests run both
with and without codegen still.

Added an e2e test to make sure that the optimisation is applied in
the backend.

Added planner tests for various cases where codegen should and shouldn't
be disabled.

Perf:
Added a targeted perf test for a join+agg over a small input, which
benefits from this change.

e89d7057a6 IMPALA-2373: Extrapolate row counts for HDFS tables.
The main idea of this patch is to use table stats to
extrapolate the row counts for new/modified partitions.

Existing behavior:
- Partitions that lack the row count stat are ignored
  when estimating the cardinality of HDFS scans. Such
  partitions effectively have an estimated row count
  of zero.
- We always use the row count stats for partitions that
  have one. The row count may be innaccurate if data in
  such partitions has changed significantly.

Summary of changes:
- Enhance COMPUTE STATS to also store the total number
  of file bytes in the table.
- Use the table-level row count and file bytes stats
  to estimate the number of rows in a scan.
- A new impalad startup flag is added to enable/disable
  the extrapolation behavior. The feature is disabled by
  default. Note that even with the feature disabled,
  COMPUTE STATS stores the file bytes so you can enable
  the feature without having to run COMPUTE STATS again.

Testing:
- Added new FE unit test
- Added new EE test
