Thrift's fastbinary module provides native code that
accelerations the BinaryProtocol. It can make a large
performance difference when using the Hiveserver2
protocol with impala-shell. If the fastbinary is not
working, it silently falls back to interpreted code.
This can happen because the fastbinary couldn't load
a particular library, etc.
This adds a warning on impala-shell startup when
it detects that Thrift's fastbinary is not working.
When bin/impala-shell.sh is modified to use python3,
impala-shell outputs this error (shortened for legibility):
WARNING: Failed to load Thrift's fastbinary module. Thrift's
BinaryProtocol will not be accelerated, which can reduce performance.
Error was '{path to Python2 thrift fastbinary.so}: undefined symbol: _Py_ZeroStruct'
Testing:
- Added a simple test that verifies the impala-shell
does not output the warning
- Outputs warning when Python 2 thrift used for Python 3 shell
