IMPALA-8138: Reintroduce rpc debugging options

In the past, Impala had a very simple 'fault injection' framework for
simulating failed rpcs between impalads. With the move to KRPC, that
framework was not carried over, and we lost the ability to test
certain failure scenarios.

This patch reintroduces this functionality. It removes the prior fault
injection framework in favor of the existing debug action framework,
which is more flexible.

To facilitate this, a few modifications are made to the debug action
framework:
- In addition to matching on a label, debug actions may now match on
  optional arguments. In this patch, the debug action
  IMPALA_SERVICE_POOL takes the arguments 'host', 'port', and
  'rpc name' to allow simulating the failure of specific rpcs to
  specific impalads.
- The FAIL action now takes an optional 'error message' parameter. In
  this patch, the debug action IMPALA_SERVICE_POOL uses this to
  simulate different types of rpc errors, eg. 'service too busy'.
- The FAIL action increments a metric, 'impala.debug_action.fail', so
  that tests can check that it has actually been hit. Prior to this
  patch the tests in test_rpc_exception.py where all passing
  spuriously as the faults they were supposed to be testing were no
  longer being injected.

This patch uses these new mechanisms to introduce tests that simulate
failures in DataStreamService rpcs. Follow up patches will add test
cases for ControlService rpcs.

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.
