IMPALA-7506: support global INVALIDATE METADATA in local catalog mode

The minimal catalog object version of valid catalog objects is used to
implement global invalidate metadata in legacy catalog mode. Coordinator
sends DDL RPC to catalogd for global invalidate metadata and gets the
expected min catalog version in the response. It's the version when
catalogd starts to reset the entire catalog, which means when the reset
is done, all valid catalog objects should be associated with a catalog
version larger than it. Coordinator will wait until its min catalog
version exceeds this value, which means it has processed all the updates
of the reset propagated from the catalogd via statestored. If SYNC_DDL
is set, the coordinator will also wait until other coordinators reach
the same statestore topic version with it, so they have also processed
the same updates and had the latest catalog after reset.

In local catalog mode, the coordinator does not cache all the metadata.
Instead, it caches them on-demand (based on query requests), and removes
them based on the Guava cache configurations (size or TTL) or explicit
invalidation from the catalog topic updates. So it's hard to track the
minimal catalog object version correctly.

This patch adds a new field (lastResetCatalogVersion) in TCatalog to
propagate the catalog version when catalogd starts to reset the entire
metadata. Each time when catalogd generates a new topic update, it will
generate a TCatalogObject of CATALOG type containing the state of the
catalog which includes this new field.

When coordinator receives a new value of lastResetCatalogVersion in a
topic update, it means catalogd has reset the entire catalog.
Coordinator will then clear its cache to remove all stale catalog
objects. It's possible that some fresh items being removed too. They
will be refetched on demand.

After the invalidation, there are no catalog object cached with catalog
version <= lastResetCatalogVersion. Because stale cache has been cleared
and all metadata from catalogd is newer than lastResetCatalogVersion. So
lastResetCatalogVersion + 1 is the lower bound (included) of min catalog
object version of a coordinator.

This patch also exposes the lower bound of catalog object version of via
a new metric "catalog.catalog-object-version-lower-bound" to ease
debugging.

IMPALA-9136 is also fixed in this patch.

Tests:
 - Recover all existing tests that have been disabled due to this
   missing feature
 - Add custom cluster test for concurrent DDLs with INVALIDATE METADATA
 - Run CORE tests

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.
