Impala

1. Creating a partitioned table in  parquet format directly from an unpartitioned table in different format.

create external table dbname.partitioned_table
PARTITIONED BY ( col5,col6 )
STORED AS PARQUET
LOCATION 'hdfs://nameservice/path/partitioned_table'
AS select
  col1 ,
  col2 ,
  col3,
  col4
  col5,
  col6
from  dbname.unpartitioned_table

2.   Error while accessing HIVE TEXTFILE format table in Impala.

Create a  TEXTFILE format table in HIVE. 

CREATE EXTERNAL TABLE test_impala_do (   category STRING,   segment STRING,   level_1 STRING,   group_code INT,   d_xuid_count INT,   segment_code INT,   datetime STRING COMMENT 'DATETIME',   source_file STRING COMMENT 'SOURCE_FILE' ) PARTITIONED BY (   akey STRING COMMENT 'AKEY AS DEFINED' ) WITH SERDEPROPERTIES ('serialization.format'='1') STORED AS TEXTFILE LOCATION 'hdfs://nameservice1/..../test_impala_do'

Populated using spark SQL job.

INSERT OVERWRITE INTO test_impala_do.....

if before populating the data I execute following.

sqlContext.setConf("hive.exec.compress.output","true")

then when I access the table in Impala , it gives exception ...could not load table metadata complaining that files should be compressed with some predefined extensions

If I populate without this conf , then it works fine.

Joins - Not always very obvious ( Following example uses Hive ). create table x_temp ( name string, p_date int  ) insert into x_temp(name,p_date) values ('x1',20181025),('x2', 20181026), ('x3',20181027) create table y_temp ( name string, s_date int  ) insert into y_temp(name,s_date) values ('x1',20181025),('x2', 20181026), ('x3',20181027) create table z_temp ( name string, p_date int, s_date int ) insert into z_temp(name,p_date,s_date) values ('z1','20181025','20181025') select x.*, y.* from x_temp x, y_temp y, z_temp z  where x.p_date != z.p_date and  y.s_date != z.s_date) generates 4 records... x.name,x.p_date,y.name,y.s_date x2, 20181026, x2, 20181026 x3, 20181027, x2, 20181026 x2, 20181026, x3, 20181027 x3, 20181027, x3, 20181027 select x.*, y.* from x_temp x, y_temp y, z_temp z  where x.p_date != z.p_date or  y.s_date != z.s_date) generates 8 records x.name,x.p_date,y.

HIVE

1. When doing multi table joins, except the last ( right most ) table, other tables are buffered in the reducers. So to have less memory footprint on reducers, largest tables should be the last one as it is not buffered but streamed to reducers.   For Impala , it is different. 2.  You can filter the unwanted records within the join itself. SELECT  a.*,   b. * FROM a LEFT OUTER JOIN b ON ( a.key=b.key  AND  b.name= 'Tim'   AND a .name= 'Kim' ) 3. Joins are left associative. So execution happens from left to right and the result of joins is  fed into next join operation. 4. To find the value of variable     set hive.execution.engine 5. To find values of all variables set  6. If you want to pass different hive configuration settings in hive shell, you can use --hiveconf. For example hive --hiveconf hivi.optimize.sort.dynamic.partition=true --hiveconf hive.exec.dynamic.partition.mode=nonstrict 7.  In case you accidentally drop the p
