IMPALA-12540: Query Live Table

Defines SystemTable which are in-memory tables that can provide access
to Impala state. Adds the 'impala_query_live' to the database 'sys',
which already exists for 'sys.impala_query_log'.

Implements the 'impala_query_live' table to view active queries across
all coordinators sharing the same statestore. SystemTables create new
SystemTableScanNodes for their scan node implementation. When computing
scan range locations, SystemTableScanNodes creates a scan range for each
in the cluster (identified via ClusterMembershipMgr). This produces a
plan that looks like:

Query: explain select * from sys.impala_query_live

+------------------------------------------------------------+

Impala's scheduler checks for whether the query contains fragments that
can be scheduled on coordinators, and if present includes an
ExecutorGroup containing all coordinators. These are used to schedule
scan ranges that are flagged as 'use_coordinator', allowing
SystemTableScanNodes to be scheduled on dedicated coordinators and
outside the selected executor group.

Execution will pull data from ImpalaServer on the backend via a
SystemTableScanner implementation based on table name.

In the query profile, SYSTEM_TABLE_SCAN_NODE includes
ActiveQueryCollectionTime and PendingQueryCollectionTime to track time
spent collecting QueryState from ImpalaServer.

Grants QueryScanner private access to ImpalaServer, identical to how
ImpalaHttpHandler access internal server state.

Adds custom cluster tests for impala_query_live, and unit tests for
changes to planner and scheduler.

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.

Detailed build notes has some detailed information on the project layout and build.
