Contains the following improvements to the Impala queries as
OpenTelemetry traces custom cluster tests:

1. Supporting code for asserting traces was moved to
   'tests/util/otel_trace.py'. The moved code was modified to remove
   all references to 'self'. Since this code used
   'self.assert_impalad_log_contains', it had to be modified so the
   caller provides the correct log file path to search. The
   '__find_span_log' function was updated to call a new generic file
   grep function to run the necessary log file search regex. All
   other code was moved unmodified.

2. Classes 'TestOtelTraceSelectsDMLs' and 'TestOtelTraceDDLs'
   contained a total of 11 individual tests that used the
   'unique_database' fixture. When this fixture is used in a test, it
   results in two DDLs being run before the test to drop/create the
   database and one DDL being run after the test to drop the database.
   These classes now create a test database once during 'setup_class'
   and drop it once during 'teardown_class' because creating a new
   database for each test was unnecessary. This change dropped test
   execution time from about 97 seconds to about 77 seconds.

3. Each test now has comments describing what the test is asserting.

4. The unnecessary sleep in 'test_query_exec_fail' was removed saving
   five seconds of test execution time.

5. New test 'test_dml_insert_fail' added. Previously, the situation
   where an insert DML failed was not tested. The test passed without
   any changes to backend code.

6. Test 'test_ddl_createtable_fail' is greatly simplified by using a
   debug action to fail the query instead of multiple parallel
   queries where one dropped the database the other was inserting
   into. The simplified setup eliminated test flakiness caused by
   timing differences and sped up test execution by about 5 seconds.

7. Fixed test flakiness was caused by timing issues. Depending on
   when the close process was initiated, span events are sometimes in
   the QueryExecution span and sometimes in the Close span. Test
   assertions cannot handle these situations. All span event
   assertions for the Close span were removed. IMPALA-14334 will fix
   these assertions.

8. The function 'query_id_from_ui' which retrieves the query profile
   using the Impala debug ui now makes multiple attempts to retrieve
   the query. In slower test situations, such as ASAN, the query may
   not yet be available when the function is called initially which
   used to cause tests to fail. This test flakiness is now eliminated
   through the addition of the retries.

Testing accomplished by running tests in test_otel_trace.py both
locally and in a full Jenkins build.

Welcome to Impala

Lightning-fast, distributed SQL queries for petabytes of data stored in open data and table formats.

Impala is a modern, massively-distributed, massively-parallel, C++ query engine that lets you analyze, transform and combine data from a variety of data sources:

More about Impala

The fastest way to try out Impala is a quickstart Docker container. You can try out running queries and processing data sets in Impala on a single machine without installing dependencies. It can automatically load test data sets into Apache Kudu and Apache Parquet formats and you can start playing around with Apache Impala SQL within minutes.

To learn more about Impala as a user or administrator, or to try Impala, please visit the Impala homepage. Detailed documentation for administrators and users is available at Apache Impala documentation.

If you are interested in contributing to Impala as a developer, or learning more about Impala's internals and architecture, visit the Impala wiki.

Supported Platforms

Impala only supports Linux at the moment. Impala supports x86_64 and has experimental support for arm64 (as of Impala 4.0). Impala Requirements contains more detailed information on the minimum CPU requirements.

Supported OS Distributions

Impala runs on Linux systems only. The supported distros are

  • Ubuntu 16.04/18.04
  • CentOS/RHEL 7/8

Other systems, e.g. SLES12, may also be supported but are not tested by the community.

Export Control Notice

This distribution uses cryptographic software and may be subject to export controls. Please refer to EXPORT_CONTROL.md for more information.

Build Instructions

See Impala's developer documentation to get started.
