Vihang Karajgaonkar commented on IMPALA-10613: ---------------------------------------------- https://gerrit.cloudera.org/#/c/17244/ for the review > Expose table and partition metadata over HMS API > ------------------------------------------------ > > Key: IMPALA-10613 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IMPALA-10613 > Project: IMPALA > Issue Type: Sub-task > Reporter: Vihang Karajgaonkar > Assignee: Vihang Karajgaonkar > Priority: Major > > Catalogd caches the table and partition metadata. If an external FE needs to > be supported to query using the Impala, it would need to get this metadata > from catalogd to compile the query and generate the plan. While a subset of > the metadata which is cached in catalogd, is sourced from Hive metastore, it > also caches file metadata which is needed by the Impala backend to create the > Impala plan. It would be good to expose the table and partition metadata > cached in catalogd over HMS API so that any Hive metastore client (e.g spark, > hive) can potentially use this metadata to create a plan. This JIRA tracks > the work needed to expose this information over catalogd. -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.3.4#803005) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: issues-all-unsubscr...@impala.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: issues-all-h...@impala.apache.org
