IMPALA-9146: Add a configurable limit for the size of broadcast input.

Impala's DistributedPlanner may sometimes accidentally choose broadcast
distribution for inputs that are larger than the destination executor's
total memory. This could potentially happen if the cluster membership is
not accurately known and the planner's cost computation of the
broadcastCost vs partitionCost happens to favor the broadcast
distribution. This causes spilling and severely affects performance.
Although the DistributedPlanner does a mem_limit check before picking
broadcast, the mem_limit is not an accurate reflection since it is
assigned during admission control.

As a safety here we introduce an explicit configurable limit:
broadcast_bytes_limit for the size of the broadcast input and set it
to default of 32GB. The default is chosen based on analysis of existing
benchmark queries and representative workloads such that in vast
majority of the cases the parameter value does not need to be changed.
If the estimated input size on the build side is greater than this
threshold, the DistributedPlanner will fall back to a partition
distribution. Setting this parameter to 0 causes it to be ignored.

Testing:
 - Ran all regression tests on Jenkins successfully
 - Added a few unit testis in PlannerTest that (a) set the
broadcast_bytes_limit to a small value and checks whether the
distributed plan does hash partitioning on the build side instead
of broadcast, (b) pass a broadcast hint to override the config
setting, (c) verify the standard case where broadcast threshold
is larger than the build input size.

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.
