<conbody>
<p>
The <codeph>DISABLE_CODEGEN</codeph> is a debug option, and it's used to work around any
issues with Impala's runtime code generation. If a query fails with an <q>illegal
instruction</q> or other hardware-specific message, try setting
<codeph>DISABLE_CODEGEN=true</codeph> and running the query again. If the query succeeds
only when the <codeph>DISABLE_CODEGEN</codeph> option is turned on, submit the problem to
<keyword keyref="support_org"> </keyword> and include that detail in the problem report.
</p>
<p>
Most queries will run significantly slower with <codeph>DISABLE_CODEGEN=true</codeph>.
</p>
<p>
In Impala 2.10 and higher, the <codeph>DISABLE_CODEGEN_ROWS_THRESHOLD</codeph>
optimisation automatically disables codegen for small queries because short-running
queries may run faster without the overhead of codegen.
</p>
<p>
The following values are supported:
<ul>
<li>
<codeph>TRUE</codeph> or <codeph>1</codeph>: Disables codegen.
</li>
<li>
<codeph>FALSE</codeph> or <codeph>0</codeph>: Enables codegen.
</li>
</ul>
</p>
<p>
<b>Type:</b> Boolean
