Yida Wu 6a079be290 IMPALA-13004: Fix heap-use-after-free error in ExprTest AiFunctionsTest
The issue is that the code previously used a std::string_view to
hold the data which is actually returned by rapidjson::Document.
However, the rapidjson::Document object gets destroyed after
creating the std::string_view. This meant the std::string_view
referenced memory that was no longer valid, leading to a
heap-use-after-free error.

This patch fixes this issue by modifying the function to
return a std::string instead of a std::string_view. When the
function returns a string, it creates a copy of the
data from rapidjson::Document. This ensures the returned
string has its own memory allocation and doesn't rely on
the destroyed rapidjson::Document.

Tests:
Reran the asan build and passed.

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.
