Joe McDonnell 1913ab46ed IMPALA-14501: Migrate most scripts from impala-python to impala-python3
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 The cm-api pypi package (which doesn't support Python 3) has been
   replaced by the cm-client pypi package and interfaces have changed.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)

I. Note
Due to licensing, we cannot distribute Oracle client binaries, and of
course we will not distribute Oracle Database. Please refer to these
guidelines if you need to use Oracle as a reference database for the
Random Query Generator.
II. Oracle Database server setup
There are lots of choices for Oracle Database. What follows are two
suggestions:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/database-technologies/express-edition/downloads/index.html
https://hub.docker.com/r/wnameless/oracle-xe-11g/
Follow their instructions for installation and setup. If you can use
sqlplus or some other shell to successfully "select 1 from dual;", then
you're good to go here.
III. Oracle client setup
Use cx_Oracle.
http://cx-oracle.sourceforge.net/
Note: Installing this via pip or similar means won't work until you have
first installed prerequisites.
1. Install Oracle instant-client
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/features/instant-client/index-097480.html
After you choose your architecture, you need
1. the basic client
2. the SDK
You will likely have to register on the Oracle site to download the
instant client binaries. As of this writing, install instructions are at
the bottom of the page once you make your architecture choice.
2. Additional dependent packages in distribution
It's possible either when trying to install cx_Oracle, import it, or use
it, you will get some linker error. I cannot predict what libraries you
do and don't have. Here's a list of Linux distributions and known
package dependencies:
Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS
libaio1
3. Ensure impala-python3 is working. It may be enough to simply run:
$ impala-python3
Getting it working is out of scope of this document.
4. Run these commands to install cx_Oracle into the impala-python3
virtual environment:
$ source "${IMPALA_HOME}"/infra/python/env-gcc${IMPALA_GCC_VERSION}/bin/activate
(env)$ pip install cx_Oracle==5.2.1
(env)$ deactivate
If pip install fails, double check the following:
* ORACLE_HOME environment variable
* LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable
BUILD.txt packaged with cx_Oracle has more instructions for installing
cx_Oracle.
IV. Oracle connectivity, cx_Oracle installation
Verify cx_Oracle can connect to your Oracle Database. Edit appopriately
and then run:
$ "${IMPALA_HOME}"/tests/comparison/util/verify-oracle-connection.py
