IMPALA-12832: Implicit invalidate metadata on event failures

At present, failure in event processing needs manual invalidate
metadata. This patch implicitly invalidates the table upon failures
in processing of table events with new
'invalidate_metadata_on_event_processing_failure' flag. And a new
'invalidate_global_metadata_on_event_processing_failure' flag is
added to global invalidate metadata automatically when event
processor goes to non-active state.

Note: Also introduced a config
'inject_process_event_failure_event_types' for automated tests to
simulate event processor failures. This config is used to specify what
event types can be intentionally failed. This config should only be
used for testing purpose. Need IMPALA-12851 as a prerequisite

Testing:
- Added end-to-end tests to mimic failures in event processor and verified
that event processor is active
- Added unit test to verify the 'auto_global_invalidate_metadata' config
- Passed FE tests

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.
