Riza Suminto 968559da26 IMPALA-14398: Deflake test_load_table_with_primary_key_attr
test_load_table_with_primary_key_attr has been intermittently fail with
following error message since Python3 switch in IMPALA-14333.

dbm.error: db type could not be determined

Error happen inside load_unique_col_metadata. But both
load_unique_col_metadata and persist_unique_col_metadata are seemingly
unused anymore.

While the root cause is still unknown, commenting
load_unique_col_metadata in db_connection.py can make the tests pass.
Tests are not affected because the they do not assert against any unique
columns. This patch implement that workaround until we can revisit the
issue with query generator infrastructure.

Fix few flake8 warnings in db_connection.py.

Testing:
Loop and pass test_show_create_table 10 times using downstream jenkins.

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.
