Joe McDonnell e05d92cb3d IMPALA-13548: Schedule scan ranges oldest to newest for tuple caching
Scheduling does not sort scan ranges by modification time. When a new
file is added to a table, its order in the list of scan ranges is
not based on modification time. Instead, it is based on which partition
it belongs to and what its filename is. A new file that is added early
in the list of scan ranges can cause cascading differences in scheduling.
For tuple caching, this means that multiple runtime cache keys could
change due to adding a single file.

To minimize that disruption, this adds the ability to sort the scan
ranges by modification time and schedule scan ranges oldest to newest.
This enables it for scan nodes that feed into tuple cache nodes
(similar to deterministic scan range assignment).

Testing:
 - Modified TestTupleCacheFullCluster::test_scan_range_distributed
   to have stricter checks about how many cache keys change after
   an insert (only one should change)
 - Modified TupleCacheTest#testDeterministicScheduling to verify that
   oldest to newest scheduling is also enabled.

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.
