Dimitris Tsirogiannis 3db5ced4ce IMPALA-3726: Add support for Kudu-specific column options
This commit adds support for Kudu-specific column options in CREATE
TABLE statements. The syntax is:
CREATE TABLE tbl_name ([col_name type [PRIMARY KEY] [option [...]]] [, ....])
where option is:
| NULL
| NOT NULL
| ENCODING encoding_val
| COMPRESSION compression_algorithm
| DEFAULT expr
| BLOCK_SIZE num

The output of the SHOW CREATE TABLE statement was altered to include all the specified
column options for Kudu tables.

Welcome to Impala

Lightning-fast, distributed SQL queries for petabytes of data stored in Apache Hadoop clusters.

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 HDFS, Apache HBase and Amazon S3.
  • Wide analytic SQL support, including window functions and subqueries.
  • On-the-fly code generation using LLVM to generate CPU-efficient code tailored specifically to each individual query.
  • Support for the most commonly-used Hadoop file formats, including the Apache Parquet (incubating) project.
  • Apache-licensed, 100% open source.
