IMPALA-13005: Create Query Live table in HMS

Creates the 'sys.impala_query_live' table in HMS using a similar 'CREATE
TABLE' command to 'sys.impala_query_log'. Updates frontend to identify a
System Table based on the '__IMPALA_SYSTEM_TABLE' property. Tables
improperly marked with '__IMPALA_SYSTEM_TABLE' will error when
attempting to scan them because no relevant scanner will be available.

Creating the table in HMS simplifies supporting 'SHOW CREATE TABLE' and
'DESCRIBE EXTENDED', so allows them for parity with Query Log.
Explicitly disables 'COMPUTE STATS' on system tables as it doesn't work
correctly.

Makes System Tables work with local catalog mode, fixing

  LocalCatalogException: Unknown table type for table sys.impala_query_live

Updates workload management implementation to rely more on
SystemTables.thrift definition, and adds DCHECKs to verify completeness
and ordering.

Testing:
- adds additional test cases for changes to introspection commands
- passes existing test_query_live and test_query_log suites

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.
