We observed that some spilling joins started returning incorrect
results. The behaviour seems to happen when a codegen'd insert and a
non-codegen'd probe function is used (or vice-versa). This only seems to
happen in a subset of cases.
The bug appears to be a result of the implicit cast of the uint32_t seed
value to the int32_t hash argument to HashTable::Hash(). The behaviour
is unspecified if the uint32_t does not fit in the int32_t. In Murmur
hash, this value is subsequently cast to a uint64_t, so we have a chain
of uint32_t->int32_t->uint64_t conversions. It would require a very
careful reading of the C++ standard to understand what the expected
result is, and whether we're seeing a compiler bug or just unspecified
behaviour, but we can avoid it entirely by keeping the values unsigned.
Testing:
I was able to reproduce the issue under a very specific of circumstances,
listed below. Before this change it consistently returned 0 rows. After the
change it consistently returned the correct results. I haven't had much
luck creating a suitable regression test.

Welcome to Impala
Lightning-fast, distributed SQL queries for petabytes of data stored in Apache Hadoop clusters.
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:
- Best of breed performance and scalability.
- Support for data stored in HDFS, Apache HBase and Amazon S3.
- Wide analytic SQL support, including window functions and subqueries.
- On-the-fly code generation using LLVM to generate CPU-efficient code tailored specifically to each individual query.
- Support for the most commonly-used Hadoop file formats, including the Apache Parquet (incubating) project.
- Apache-licensed, 100% open source.

Building Impala
This Apache Incubator repository is currently not buildable but has the complete source code for Impala minus some third-party dependences. See https://github.com/cloudera/Impala for the buildable Impala source and https://issues.cloudera.org/browse/IMPALA-3223 to track progress on making this repository buildable.
