Daniel Vanko 3d22c7fe05 IMPALA-12209: Always include format-version in DESCRIBE FORMATTED and SHOW CREATE TABLE for Iceberg tables
HiveCatalog does not include format-version for Iceberg tables in the
table's parameters, therefore the output of SHOW CREATE TABLE may not
replicate the original table.
This patch makes sure to add it to both the SHOW CREATE TABLE and
DESCRIBE FORMATTED/EXTENDED output.

Additionally, adds ICEBERG_DEFAULT_FORMAT_VERSION variable to E2E
tests, deducting from IMPALA_ICEBERG_VERSION environment variable.

If Iceberg version is at least 1.4, default format-version is 2, before
1.4 it's 1. This way tests can work with multiple Iceberg versions.

Testing:
 * updated show-create-table.test and show-create-table-with-stats.test
   for Iceberg tables
 * added format-version checks to multiple DESCRIBE FORMATTED tests

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.
