IMPALA-9101: Add support for detecting self-events on partition events

This commit redoes some of the self-event detection logic, specifically
for the partition events. Before the patch, the self-event identifiers
for a partition were stored at a table level when generating the
partition events. This was problematic since unlike ADD_PARTITION and
DROP_PARTITION event, ALTER_PARTITION event is generated one per
partition. Due to this if there are multiple ALTER_PARTITION events
generated, only the first event is identified as a self-event and the
rest of the events are processed. This patch fixes this by adding the
self-event identifiers to each partition so that when the event is later
received, each ALTER_PARTITION uses the state stored in HdfsPartition to
valuate the self-events. The patch makes sure that the event processor
takes a table lock during self-event evaluation to avoid races with
other parts of the code which try to modify the table at the same time.

Additionally, this patch also changes the event processor to refresh a
loaded table (incomplete tables are not refreshed) when a ALTER_TABLE
event is received instead of invalidating the table. This makes the
events processor consistent with respect to all the other event types.
In future, we should add a flag to choose the behavior preference
(prefer invalidate or refresh).

Also, this patch fixes the following related issues:
1. Self-event logic was not triggered for alter database events when
user modifies the comment on the database.
2. In case of queries like "alter table add if not exists partition...",
the partition is not added since its pre-existing. The self-event
identifiers should not be added in such cases since no event is expected
from such queries.
3. Changed wait_for_event_processing test util method in
EventProcessorUtils to use a more deterministic way to determine if the
catalog updates have propogated to impalad instead of waiting for a
random duration of time.  This also speeds up the event processing tests
significantly.

Testing Done:
1. Added a e2e self-events test which runs multiple impala
queries and makes sure that the event is skips processing.
2. Ran MetastoreEventsProcessorTest
3. Ran core tests on CDH and CDP builds.

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.
