IMPALA-9664: Support hive replication

This patch makes some improvements to the INSERT
event generated by Impala. Specifically, the INSERT event
will now include new file information when Impala inserts
into a table. This information can be used by external
tools like Hive Replication to replicate the changes made
by Impala in their source databases.

Additionally, this patch modifies the truncate table
execution so that it uses HMS API to truncate the table
instead of deleting the files directly on the filesystem.

Following changes were made.
1. Fires insert events for insert overwrite.
2. Has the names of the new files in the events. In case of insert
overwrite, this is just a list of files which were added by
the insert overwrite operation.
3. In case of ACID tables, fires transactional notification API
for all the partitions in which data is inserted.
4. For tables which have replication enabled, the truncate table
operation now uses a HMS API to truncate the table. This is
necessary since HMS API moves the files to a replication change
manager location if needed. Additionally, it generates
ALTER_TABLE events with truncate flag set to true.

TODO:
1. For external tables, replication does not seem to work in the
dev environment. This will be done as a followup.

Testing:
1. Created a new test in test_events_processing.py which inserts
into managed tables which are being replicated. It makes sure that
hive replication detects the new rows which are added into the
tables. The test also exercises insert overwrite and truncate
statements and makes sure that the table is replicated correctly.

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, Apache Kudu, Amazon S3, Azure Data Lake Storage, Apache Hadoop Ozone and more!
  • Wide analytic SQL support, including window functions and subqueries.
  • On-the-fly code generation using LLVM to generate lightning-fast code tailored specifically to each individual query.
  • Support for the most commonly-used Hadoop file formats, including Apache Parquet and Apache ORC.
  • Support for industry-standard security protocols, including Kerberos, LDAP and TLS.
  • Apache-licensed, 100% open source.
