IMPALA-14603: Force Java alternative after setup on Rocky and Red Hat Linux

Impala allows various Java versions to be selected for its build and
runtime environment when bin/bootstrap_system.sh is used to set up the
environment. Unfortunately this setup failed to affect the current Java
JRE and compiler tools on Red Hat Linux and compatibles (e.g. Rocky
Linux), because bootstrap_system.sh failed to set up the requested
version in the "alternatives" subsystem. The same failure was not
observed on Ubuntu versions, on that platform `update_java_alternatives`
was correctly run for the same purpose.

This patch adds calls to `alternatives` to set the JRE and JDK
environments to the requested version. This benefits automated test runs
in Impala's pre- and post-commit environments as well as individual
workstation setups.

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.
