IMPALA-9071: Handle translated external HDFS table in CTAS

After upgrading Hive-3 to a version containing HIVE-22158, it's not
allowed for managed tables to be non transactional. Creating non ACID
tables will result in creating an external table with table property
'external.table.purge' set to true.

In Hive-3, the default location of external HDFS tables will be located
in 'metastore.warehouse.external.dir' if it's set. This property is
added by HIVE-19837 in Hive 2.7, but hasn't been added to Hive in cdh6
yet.

In CTAS statement, we create a temporary HMS Table for the analysis on
the Insert part. The table path is created assuming it's a managed
table, and the Insert part will use this path for insertion. However, in
Hive-3, the created table is translated to an external table. It's not
the same as we passed to the HMS API. The created table is located in
'metastore.warehouse.external.dir', while the table path we assumed is
in 'metastore.warehouse.dir'. This introduces bugs when these two
properties are different. CTAS statement will create table in one place
and insert data in another place.

This patch adds a new method in MetastoreShim to wrap the difference for
getting the default table path for non transactional tables between
Hive-2 and Hive-3.

Changes in the infra:
 - To support customizing hive configuration, add an env var,
   CUSTOM_CLASSPATH in bin/set-classpath.sh to be put in front of
   existing CLASSPATH. The customized hive-site.xml should be put inside
   CUSTOM_CLASSPATH.
 - Change hive-site.xml.py to generate a hive-site.xml with non default
   'metastore.warehouse.external.dir'
 - Add an option, --env_vars, in bin/start-impala-cluster.py to pass
   down CUSTOM_CLASSPATH.

Tests:
 - Add a custom cluster test to start Hive with
   metastore.warehouse.external.dir being set to non default value. Run
   it locally using CDP components with HIVE-22158. xfail the test until
   we bump CDP_BUILD_NUMBER to 1507246.
 - Run CORE tests using CDH components

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.
