Xiaomeng Zhang commented on IMPALA-8065:
----------------------------------------
Here is what I found
{code:java}
The /etc/lsb-release file is a file that some, but not all, Linux distributions
put there for older programs to use. The "lsb" refers to the Linux Standard
Base, a project working to define a common set of standards for any Linux
distribution to follow, including things like filesystem layout. However, that
file, /etc/lsb-release, isn't part of the standard. It's an extra thing that
some distributions use, but not all.
The /etc/os-release file is the standard, however. Any distribution based on
systemd, including Red Hat Enterprise Linux, CentOS, Fedora, Gentoo, Debian,
Mint, Ubuntu, and many others, is required to have that file. Distributions
that don't use systemd may also have the file.
{code}
I use os-release because in docker, lsb_release command doesn't work.

> It uses /proc/version, which returns the host version. It would be good to
> also get the version from lsb-release from the Ubuntu container we're running
> in and disambiguate on the debug page.
