Noemi Pap-Takacs 821c7347d1 IMPALA-13267: Display number of partitions for Iceberg tables
Before this change, query plans and profile reported only a single
partition even for partitioned Iceberg tables, which was misleading
for users.
Now we can display the number of scanned partitions correctly for
both partitioned and unpartitioned Iceberg tables. This is achieved by
extracting the partition values from the file descriptors and storing
them in the IcebergContentFileStore. Instead of storing this information
redundantly in all file descriptors, we store them in one place and
reference the partition metadata in the FDs with an id.
This also gives the opportunity to optimize memory consumption in the
Catalog and Coordinator as well as reduce network traffic between them
in the future.

Time travel is handled similarly to oldFileDescMap. In that case
we don't know the total number of partitions in the old snapshot,
so the output is [Num scanned partitions]/unknown.

Testing:
 - Planner tests
 - E2E tests
   - partition transforms
   - partition evolution
   - DROP PARTITION
   - time travel

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.

Build Instructions

See Impala's developer documentation to get started.
