--------------------------------------
Summary: Use python = python 3 for modern toolchain docker images
Key: IMPALA-12203
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IMPALA-12203
Project: IMPALA
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Infrastructure
Affects Versions: Impala 4.3.0
Reporter: Joe McDonnell
Newer Linux distributions like Redhat 9 no longer include Python 2 in the
default repositories. In general, Python 2 is dead and the toolchain code
should be able to operate on distributions without Python 2.
Specifically, we would set python to point to python 3 and fix any issues that
come up. The issues known so far:
* The version of pip that we install in the docker images is too old to work
appropriately with recent Python 3. It would need to be upgraded to 20.3.4 (the
last version that also supports Python 2.7).
* The version of awscli that we install doesn't work with Python 3.10 (used on
Ubuntu 22). This will need to be upgraded to 1.19.112, which is the last
version to support Python 2.7. This is new enough to work with Python 3.10.
For bonus points, this logic can be extended to other modern distributions like
Ubuntu 20, SLES 15, and Redhat 8. There is no need to extend this to legacy
distributions like Redhat 7, SLES 12, or Ubuntu 16/18.
