Quanlong Huang commented on IMPALA-10848:
-----------------------------------------
Just realized we have bin/bootstrap_build.sh which is for build-only env setup.
It currently only supports Ubuntu16. We just need to extend it to support other
OS, e.g. CentOS.
> Provide compile-only option to skip downloading test dependencies

> Compiling Impala is not easy for a beginner. A portion of failures are in
> downloading/installing dependencies.
> For instance, old versions of Impala may fail to compile since cdh components
> of old GBNs on S3 are removed. However, the artifacts of cdh component are
> only used in testing (minicluster & holding testdata). We can still compile
> without them.
> Take pip dependencies as another example, here is a failure I got from a
> community user. It failed by installing pywebhdfs:
> !pywebhdfs_failure.png!
> However, simple git-grep shows that pywebhdfs is only used in tests:
> {code:bash}
> $ git grep pywebhdfs
> bin/bootstrap_system.sh:# >>> from pywebhdfs.webhdfs import PyWebHdfsClient
> infra/python/deps/requirements.txt:pywebhdfs == 0.3.2
> tests/common/impala_test_suite.py: # HDFS: uses a mixture of pywebhdfs
> (which is faster than the HDFS CLI) and the
> tests/util/hdfs_util.py:from pywebhdfs.webhdfs import PyWebHdfsClient,
> errors, _raise_pywebhdfs_exception
> tests/util/hdfs_util.py:
> _raise_pywebhdfs_exception(response.status_code, response.text)
> tests/util/hdfs_util.py:
> _raise_pywebhdfs_exception(response.status_code, response.text)
> tests/util/hdfs_util.py:
> _raise_pywebhdfs_exception(response.status_code, response.text)
> tests/util/hdfs_util.py:
> _raise_pywebhdfs_exception(response.status_code, response.text) {code}
> If the user just wants to compile Impala and deploys it in their existing
> Hadoop cluster, dealing with these failures is a waste of their time.
> *Target for this JIRA*
> * Provide compile-only option to bin/bootstrap_system.sh. It should skip
> downloading/installing unused dependencies like postgresql.
> * Provide compile-only option to buildall.sh. It should skip downloading
> unused cdh/cdp components in compilation.
> * Update our
> [wiki|https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/IMPALA/Building+Impala]
> about this.
> Note that we already have some env vars to control the download behaviors,
> e.g. SKIP_PYTHON_DOWNLOAD, SKIP_TOOLCHAIN_BOOTSTRAP. We just need to make the
> compile-only scenario works with minimal requirements and document it.
