Quanlong Huang updated IMPALA-8210:
-----------------------------------
    Description: 
It'd be quite helpful if Impala can read/write some tiny 
RDBMS(MySQL/PostgreSQL/SQLServer) tables. Parallelism or efficiency can be 
ignored since the target tables are all tiny. Some use cases:
 * Some dimension tables in Hive are snapshots of RDBMS tables. Users want to 
query the difference between the snapshot in Hive and the latest data in RDBMS.
 * Users want to run queries joining Hive fact tables and the latest data in 
RDBMS.
 * Users hope their query results can be ingested into MySQL directly

Implement an "External Data Source" as a generic JDBC wrapper for RDBMS data 
sources could be a solution. The drawback is that "External Data Source" 
requires users to create tables in Impala for each RDBMS table they want to 
access. Users can't list tables (show tables) of a schema(database). 

There're other solutions that support RDBMS directly. For example
