Change subject: IMPALA-7976 : Add a flag to disable sync using events at a table level ...................................................................... IMPALA-7976 : Add a flag to disable sync using events at a table level This change adds the ability to disable event processing at a table or database level. If the user adds a property with the key "impala.disableEventMdSync" in the table or database properties, event processing can be turned on/off at the respective level. The value of the property is string value of Booleans ("true" or "false"). By default event processing is enabled when the global config hms_event_polling_interval_s is set to a non-zero value. The value of property determines if the event processing needs to be disabled for a particular table or database. So for example, if "impala.disableEventMdSync" is set to "true" then events for that table/database are ignored. If the property is unset or a value of "false" is used, the event processing is enabled (although it is not necessary to explicitly enable event processing, given the global flag). When both table and db level properties are set, the table level property takes precedence. If the table level property is not set, then database level property is used to evaluate if the event needs to be processed or not. Users can issue alter table command to change the value of this property. When the flag value is changed, the alter table event generated is always processed and subsequent events are either ignored or processed based on the new value of table flag and database flag. In theory, a database level property can also be changed. But Impala doesn't currently support alter database operations. Users who may wish to change the database level property should use alter database command from Apache Hive (or any other metastore client) Testing done: Added new unit tests which execute all supported DDL operations with all possible combination of db and table flags. Another test executes alter table operations for changing flags for all combinations of transitions at table level.
