Hello, Jim Apple, I have test original delimiters setting, and logs show's the difference of my commit and original setting, as below:
My commit Original setting Field terminators can't be an empty string. All terminators can't be empty. (I will enhance restriction to this in my next patch) Tuple delimiter can't be the first byte of field delimiter Field delimiter and line delimiter can't be the same value(So these two restrictions are actually the same one) Escaped char can't be the first byte of field delimiter Warning: Escaped char will be ignored(I will relax my restriction to this in my next patch) No restriction for escaped char and line terminator Warning: Escaped char will be ignored(I will add this warning in my next patch) Terminator contains '\0' ImpalaRuntimeException(logs for detail. I add this restriction to fix this runtime exception.)

We may want to put this change in Impala 3.0, rather than 2.x, if it breaks existing DDL statements. > Field terminator can't be an empty string How is this different that the current restrictions on field terminators? If field terminators can currently be empty strings, what kind of queries or DDL statements does this break? Do we currently have tests for those? Do we expect that many users are using them? These questions are also of interest to me on your three other restrictions.
