IMPALA-4364: [Addendum] Compare specific fields in StorageDescriptor

The query option REFRESH_UPDATED_HMS_PARTITIONS was introduced
earlier in IMPALA-4364 to detect changes in the partition
objects in HMS when a refresh table command is issued. Originally,
it relied on using the StorageDescriptor#equals() method to
determine if the Partition in catalogd is same as partition
in HMS with while executing the refresh statement.

However, using StorageDescriptor#equals() is dependent on HMS
version and may introduce inconsistent behaviors after upgrades.
For example, when we backported the original patch to older
distribution which uses Hive-2, the SkewedInfo field of
StorageDescriptor is not null. This field causes the comparison
logic to fail, since catalogd doesn't store the SkewedInfo
field in the cached StorageDescriptor to optimize memory usage.

This patch modifies the comparison logic to use explicit
implementation in HdfsPartition class which compares only
some fields which are cached in the HdfsPartition object.

Testing:
1. Added a new test for the comparison method.
2. Modified existing test for the query option.

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, Apache Kudu, Amazon S3, Azure Data Lake Storage, Apache Hadoop Ozone and more!
  • Wide analytic SQL support, including window functions and subqueries.
  • On-the-fly code generation using LLVM to generate lightning-fast code tailored specifically to each individual query.
  • Support for the most commonly-used Hadoop file formats, including Apache Parquet and Apache ORC.
  • Support for industry-standard security protocols, including Kerberos, LDAP and TLS.
  • Apache-licensed, 100% open source.
