Riza Suminto 1008decc07 IMPALA-14447: Parallelize table loading in getMissingTables()
StmtMetadataLoader.getMissingTables() load missing tables in serial
manner. In local catalog mode, large number of serial table loading can
incur significant round trip latency to CatalogD. This patch parallelize
the table loading by using executor service to lookup and gather all
non-null FeTables from given TableName set.

Modify LocalCatalog.loadDbs() and LocalDb.loadTableNames() slightly to
make it thread-safe. Change FrontendProfile.Scope to support nested
scope referencing the same FrontendProfile instance.

Added new flag max_stmt_metadata_loader_threads to control the maximum
number of threads to use for loading table metadata during query
compilation. It is deafult to 8 threads per query compilation.

If there is only one table to load, max_stmt_metadata_loader_threads set
to 1, or RejectedExecutionException raised, fallback to load table
serially.

Testing:
Run and pass few tests such as test_catalogd_ha.py,
test_concurrent_ddls.py, and test_observability.py.
Add FE tests CatalogdMetaProviderTest.testProfileParallelLoad.
Manually run following query and observe parallel loading by setting
TRACE level log in CatalogdMetaProvider.java.

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.
