The code in span-manager.cc contains aggressive DCHECKS that rely on
the query lifecycle to be deterministic. In reality, the query
lifecycle is not completely deterministic due to multiple threads
being involved in execution, result retrieval, query shutdown, etc.

On debug builds only, a new flag named, otel_trace_exhaustive_dchecks
will be available with a default of 'false'. If set to 'true', then
optional DCHECKs will be enabled in the SpanManager class to enable
identification of edge cases where the query lifecycle proceeds in an
unexpected way.

The DCHECKs that are controlled by the new flag are those that rely
on a specific ordering of start/end child span and add child span
event calls.

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.
