Michael Smith d217b9ecc6 IMPALA-14450: Simplify Java version selection
Removes IMPALA_JAVA_HOME_OVERRIDE and updates version selection. In
order of priority
1. If IMPALA_JDK_VERSION is set, use the OS JDK version from a known
   location. This is primarily used when also installing the JDK as part
   of automated builds.
2. If JAVA_HOME is set, use it.
3. Look for the system default JDK.

The IMPALA_JDK_VERSION variable is no longer modified to avoid issues
when sourcing impala-config.sh multiple times. JAVA_HOME will be
modified if IMPALA_JDK_VERSION is set; both must be unset to restore
using the system default Java.

If switching between JDKs, now prefer setting JAVA_HOME. If relying on
system Java, unset JAVA_HOME after e.g. update-java-alternatives.

The detected Java version is set in IMPALA_JAVA_TARGET, which is used to
add Java 9+ options and configure the Java compilation target.

Eliminates IMPALA_JDK_VERSION_NUM as it's value was always identical to
IMPALA_JAVA_TARGET.

Stops printing from impala-config-java.sh. It made the output from
impala-config.sh look strange, and the decisions can all be clearly
determined from impala-config.sh printed variables later or the packages
installed in bootstrap_system.sh.

Fixes JAVA_HOME in bootstrap_build.sh on ARM64 systems.

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.
