IMPALA-9151: Maintain cluster size in ExecutorMembershipSnapshot

This change improves the cluster membership snapshot we maintain in the
frontend in cases where all executors have been shut down or none have
started yet.

Prior to this change when configuring Impala with executor groups, the
planner might see a ExecutorMembershipSnapshot that has no executors in
it. This could happen if the first executor group had not started up
yet, or if all executor groups had been shutdown. If this happened, the
planner would make sub-optimal decisions, e.g. decide on a broadcast
join vs a partitioned hash join.

With this change if no executors have been registered so far, the
planner will use the expected number of executors which can be set using
the -num_expected_executors flag and is 20 by default. After executors
come online, the planner will use the size of the largest healthy
executor group, and it will hold on to the group's size even if it shuts
down or becomes unhealthy. This allows the planner to work on the
assumption that a healthy executor group of the same size will
eventually come online to execute the query.

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.
