When EventProcessor is paused, e.g. due to a global INVALIDATE METADATA
operation, in alterTableOrViewRename() we don't fetch the event id of
the ALTER_TABLE event. This causes the createEventId of the new table
being -1 and the DeleteEventLog entry of the old table is missing. So
stale ALTER_TABLE RENAME events could incorrectly remove the new table
or add the old table.

The other case is in the fallback invalidation added in IMPALA-13989
that handles rename failure inside catalog (but succeeds in HMS). The
createEventId is also set as -1.

This patch fixes these by always setting a correct/meaningful
createEventId. When fetching the ALTER_TABLE event fails, we try to use
the event id before the HMS operation. It could be a little bit stale
but much better than -1.

Modified CatalogServiceCatalog#isEventProcessingActive() to just check
if event processing is enabled and renamed it to
isEventProcessingEnabled(). Note that this method is only used in DDLs
that check their self events. We should allow these checks even when
EventProcessor is not in the ACTIVE state. So when EventProcessor is
recovered, fields like createEventId in tables are still correct.

Removed the code of tracking in-flight events at the end of rename since
the new table is in unloaded state and only the createEventId is useful.
The catalog version used is also incorrect since it's not used in
CatalogServiceCatalog#renameTable() so it doesn't make sence to use it.
Removed the InProgressTableModification parameter of
alterTableOrViewRename() since it's not used anymore.

This patch also fixes a bug in getRenamedTableFromEvents() that it
always returns the first event id in the list. It should use the rename
event it finds.

Tests
 - Added e2e test and ran it 40 times.

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.
