Zoltan Borok-Nagy 9abbcf82ca IMPALA-14451: Log if memory-based admission is skipped
When admission control is enabled, but max memory for pool is not
configured, Impala skips memory-based admission completely, i.e. it
doesn't even take available host memory into account.

This behavior can lead to admitting many queries with large memory
consumption, potentially causing query failures due to memory
exhaustion.

Fixing the above behavior might cause regressions in some workloads,
so this patch just adds a new log message which makes it clear why
a query gets admitted, and also mentions possible failures.

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.
