Fixes several issues with the OpenTelemetry tracing startup flags:

1. otel_trace_beeswax -- Removes this hidden flag which enabled
   tracing of queries submitted over Beeswax. Since this protocol is
   deprecated and no tests assert the traces generated by Beeswax
   queries, this flag was removed to eliminate an extra check when
   determining if OpenTelemetry tracing should be enabled.

2. otel_trace_tls_minimum_version -- Fixes parsing of this flag's
   value. This flag is in the format "tlsv1.2" or "tlsv1.3", but the
   OpenTelemetry C++ SDK expects the minimum TLS version to be in the
   format "1.2" or "1.3". The code now removes the "tlsv" prefix before
   passing the value to the OpenTelemetry C++ SDK.

3. otel_trace_tls_insecure_skip_verify -- Fixes the guidance to only
   set this flag to true in dev/testing.

Adds ctest tests for the functions that configure the TraceProvider
singleton to ensure startup flags are correctly parsed and applied.

Modifies the http_exporter_config and init_otel_tracer function
signatures in otel.cc to return the actual object they create instead
of a Status since these functions only ever returned OK.

Updates the OpenTelemetry collector docker-compose file to support
the collector receiving traces over both HTTP and HTTPS. This setup
is used to manually smoke test the integration from Impala to an
OpenTelemetry collector.

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.
