Eyizoha faf322dd41 IMPALA-12927: Support specifying format for reading JSON BINARY columns
Currently, Impala always assumes that the data in the binary columns of
JSON tables is base64 encoded. However, before HIVE-21240, Hive wrote
binary data to JSON tables without base64 encoding it, instead writing
it as escaped strings. After HIVE-21240, Hive defaults to base64
encoding binary data when writing to JSON tables and introduces the
serde property 'json.binary.format' to indicate the encoding method of
binary data in JSON tables.

To maintain consistency with Hive and avoid correctness issues caused by
reading data in an incorrect manner, this patch also introduces the
serde property 'json.binary.format' to specify the reading method for
binary data in JSON tables. Currently, this property supports reading in
either base64 or rawstring formats, same as Hive.

Additionally, this patch introduces a query option 'json_binary_format'
to achieve the same effect. This query option will only take effect for
JSON tables where the serde property 'json.binary.format' is not set.
The reading format of binary columns in JSON tables can be configured
globally by setting the 'default_query_options'. It should be noted that
the default value of 'json_binary_format' is 'NONE', and impala will
prohibit reading binary columns of JSON tables that either have
"no 'json.binary.format' set and 'json_binary_format' is 'NONE'" or
"an invalid 'json.binary.format' value set", and will provide an error
message to avoid using an incorrect format without the user noticing.

Testing:
  - Enabled existing binary type E2E tests for JSON tables
  - Added new E2E test for 'json.binary.format'

This directory contains Impala test data sets. The directory layout is structured as follows:
datasets/
<data set>/<data set>_schema_template.sql
<data set>/<data files SF1>/data files
<data set>/<data files SF2>/data files
Where SF is the scale factor controlling data size. This allows for scaling the same schema to
different sizes based on the target test environment.
The schema template SQL files have the following format:
The goal is to provide a single place to define a table + data files
and have the schema and data load statements generated for each combination of file
format, compression, etc. The way this works is by specifying how to create a
'base table'. The base table can be used to generate tables in other file formats
by performing the defined INSERT / SELECT INTO statement. Each new table using the
file format/compression combination needs to have a unique name, so all the
statements are pameterized on table name.
The template file is read in by the 'generate_schema_statements.py' script to
to generate all the schema for the Impala benchmark tests.
Each table is defined as a new section in the file with the following format:
====
---- SECTION NAME
section contents
...
---- ANOTHER SECTION
... section contents
---- ... more sections...
Note that tables are delimited by '====' and that even the first table in the
file must include this header line.
The supported section names are:
DATASET
Data set name - Used to group sets of tables together
BASE_TABLE_NAME
The name of the table within the database
CREATE
Explicit CREATE statement used to create the table (executed by Impala)
CREATE_HIVE
Same as the above, but will be executed by Hive instead. If specified,
'CREATE' must not be specified.
CREATE_KUDU
Customized CREATE TABLE statement used to create the table for Kudu-specific
syntax.
COLUMNS
PARTITION_COLUMNS
ROW_FORMAT
HBASE_COLUMN_FAMILIES
TABLE_PROPERTIES
HBASE_REGION_SPLITS
If no explicit CREATE statement is provided, a CREATE statement is generated
from these sections (see 'build_table_template' function in
'generate-schema-statements.py' for details)
ALTER
A set of ALTER statements to be executed after the table is created
(typically to add partitions, but may also be used for other settings that
cannot be specified directly in the CREATE TABLE statement).
These statements are ignored for HBase and Kudu tables.
LOAD
The statement used to load the base (text) form of the table. This is
typically a LOAD DATA statement.
DEPENDENT_LOAD
DEPENDENT_LOAD_KUDU
DEPENDENT_LOAD_HIVE
DEPENDENT_LOAD_ACID
DEPENDENT_LOAD_JSON
Statements to be executed during the "dependent load" phase. These statements
are run after the initial (base table) load is complete.
HIVE_MAJOR_VERSION
The required major version of Hive for this table. If the major version
of Hive at runtime does not exactly match the version specified in this section,
the table will be skipped.
NOTE: this is not a _minimum_ version -- if HIVE_MAJOR_VERSION specifies '2',
the table will _not_ be loaded/created on Hive 3.
