When enable_insert_events is set to true (default), Impala will fire HMS
INSERT events for each INSERT statement. Preparing data of the
InsertEvents actually takes time since it fetches checksums of all the
new files. This patch adds a catalog timeline item to reveal this step.

Before this patch, the duration of "Got Metastore client" before "Fired
Metastore events" could be long:

    Catalog Server Operation: 65.762ms
       - Got catalog version read lock: 12.724us (12.724us)
       - Got catalog version write lock and table write lock: 224.572us (211.848us)
       - Got Metastore client: 418.346us (193.774us)
       - Got Metastore client: 29.001ms (28.583ms) <---- Unexpected long
       - Fired Metastore events: 52.665ms (23.663ms)

After this patch, we shows what actually takes the time is "Prepared
InsertEvent data":

    Catalog Server Operation: 61.597ms
       - Got catalog version read lock: 7.129us (7.129us)
       - Got catalog version write lock and table write lock: 114.476us (107.347us)
       - Got Metastore client: 200.040us (85.564us)
       - Prepared InsertEvent data: 25.335ms (25.135ms)
       - Got Metastore client: 25.342ms (7.009us)
       - Fired Metastore events: 46.625ms (21.283ms)

Tests:
 - Added e2e test

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.
