IMPALA-9015: improve mt_dop scan scheduling

Implement longest-processing time algorithm for assigning scan ranges
to instances within a host. This is a standard algorithm that works
well in practice and solves some specific bugs in the current
algorithm.

The previous approach tended to assign multiple ranges to the
first instance and induce skew. E.g. if the ranges were
[3, 4, 5, 6] and it had 4 instances, it would assign
[3, 4], [5], [6], []. This also had the unfortunate consequence
that not all instances actually got allocated scan ranges,
making scheduling hard to reason about.

Testing:
Added a unit test for the core algorithm that checks directly
that it fixes that above problems.

Perf:
The algorithm is O(n log n) instead of O(n), where n is the
number of scan ranges allocated to a backend. This seems
worthwhile to get more even work distribution because
the payoff can be significant in may cases.

I ran a single node perf run of TPC-H scale 30 with
mt_dop=4 and saw significant perf improvements:

Welcome to Impala

Lightning-fast, distributed SQL queries for petabytes of data stored in Apache Hadoop clusters.

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:

  • Best of breed performance and scalability.
  • Support for data stored in HDFS, Apache HBase and Amazon S3.
  • Wide analytic SQL support, including window functions and subqueries.
  • On-the-fly code generation using LLVM to generate CPU-efficient code tailored specifically to each individual query.
  • Support for the most commonly-used Hadoop file formats, including the Apache Parquet project.
  • Apache-licensed, 100% open source.

More about Impala

To learn more about Impala as a business user, or to try Impala live or in a VM, please visit the Impala homepage.

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.

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 bin/bootstrap_build.sh.

Detailed Build Notes

Impala can be built with pre-built components or components downloaded from S3. The components needed to build Impala are Apache Hadoop, Hive, HBase, and Sentry. If you need to manually override the locations or versions of these components, you can do so through the environment variables and scripts listed below.

Scripts and directories
LocationPurpose
bin/impala-config.shThis script must be sourced to setup all environment variables properly to allow other scripts to work
bin/impala-config-local.shA script can be created in this location to set local overrides for any environment variables
bin/impala-config-branch.shA version of the above that can be checked into a branch for convenience.
bin/bootstrap_build.shA helper script to bootstrap some of the build requirements.
bin/bootstrap_development.shA helper script to bootstrap a developer environment. Please read it before using.
