IMPALA-12809: Iceberg metadata table scanner should always be scheduled to the coordinator

On clusters with dedicated coordinators and executors the Iceberg
metadata scanner fragment(s) can be scheduled to executors, for example
during a join. The fragment in this case will fail a precondition check,
because either the 'frontend_' object or the table will not be present.

This change forces Iceberg metadata scanner fragments to be scheduled on
the coordinator. It is not enough to set the DataPartition type to
UNPARTITIONED, because unpartitioned fragments can still be scheduled on
executors. This change introduces a new flag in the TPlanFragment thrift
struct - if it is true, the fragment is always scheduled on the
coordinator.

Testing:
 - Added a regression test in test_coordinators.py.
 - Added a new planner test with two metadata tables and a regular table
   joined together.

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.
