To remove the dependency on Python 2, existing scripts need to use python3 rather than python. These commands find those locations (for impala-python and regular python): git grep impala-python | grep -v impala-python3 | grep -v impala-python-common | grep -v init-impala-python git grep bin/python | grep -v python3 This removes or switches most of these locations by various means: 1. If a python file has a #!/bin/env impala-python (or python) but doesn't have a main function, it removes the hash-bang and makes sure that the file is not executable. 2. Most scripts can simply switch from impala-python to impala-python3 (or python to python3) with minimal changes. 3. The cm-api pypi package (which doesn't support Python 3) has been replaced by the cm-client pypi package and interfaces have changed. Rather than migrating the code (which hasn't been used in years), this deletes the old code and stops installing cm-api into the virtualenv. The code can be restored and revamped if there is any interest in interacting with CM clusters. 4. This switches tests/comparison over to impala-python3, but this code has bit-rotted. Some pieces can be run manually, but it can't be fully verified with Python 3. It shouldn't hold back the migration on its own. 5. This also replaces locations of impala-python in comments / documentation / READMEs. 6. kazoo (used for interacting with HBase) needed to be upgraded to a version that supports Python 3. The newest version of kazoo requires upgrades of other component versions, so this uses kazoo 2.8.0 to avoid needing other upgrades. The two remaining uses of impala-python are: - bin/cmake_aux/create_virtualenv.sh - bin/impala-env-versioned-python These will be removed separately when we drop Python 2 support completely. In particular, these are useful for testing impala-shell with Python 2 until we stop supporting Python 2 for impala-shell. The docker-based tests still use /usr/bin/python, but this can be switched over independently (and doesn't impact impala-python) Testing: - Ran core job - Ran build + dataload on Centos 7, Redhat 8 - Manual testing of individual scripts (except some bitrotted areas like the random query generator) Change-Id: If209b761290bc7e7c716c312ea757da3e3bca6dc Reviewed-on: http://gerrit.cloudera.org:8080/23468 Reviewed-by: Michael Smith <michael.smith@cloudera.com> Tested-by: Michael Smith <michael.smith@cloudera.com>
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:
- Best of breed performance and scalability.
- Support for data stored in Apache Iceberg, HDFS, Apache HBase, Apache Kudu, Amazon S3, Azure Data Lake Storage, Apache Hadoop Ozone and more!
- Wide analytic SQL support, including window functions and subqueries.
- On-the-fly code generation using LLVM to generate lightning-fast code tailored specifically to each individual query.
- Support for the most commonly-used Hadoop file formats, including Apache Parquet and Apache ORC.
- Support for industry-standard security protocols, including Kerberos, LDAP and TLS.
- Apache-licensed, 100% open source.
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.

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.
