Impala Table Metadata Refresher

Used for refreshing the metadata on a table across all of the nodes in a cluster. Metadata refreshing will occurr concurrently, any node which exceeds a 1 minute refresh will timeout.

This was designed because I needed a way to manually invoke a full retrieve of all the parititions on a given table for every node in the cluster.

How To Use

An error will be displayed if your node timesout or fails to refresh (non 0 exit code). If any of your nodes fail to refresh, the exit code of impala-refresher will be 1.

Usage:

Usage of ./impala-refresher:
  -concurrency=0: Max number of refreshes to perform concurrently (0: unlimited)
  -nodes="":    Comma separated list of impala daemons to refresh
  -table="":    Table to refresh
  -timeout=60:  Refresh timeout in seconds

Example:

$ ./impala-refresher --table mytable --nodes node-01,node-02,node-03,node-04,node-05,node-06
Refreshing node-01's metadata...
Refreshing node-02's metadata...
Refreshing node-03's metadata...
Refreshing node-04's metadata...
Refreshing node-05's metadata...
Refreshing node-06's metadata...
node-06 refreshed successfully! Took: 25.195226472s
node-05 refreshed successfully! Took: 26.145260728s
node-04 refreshed successfully! Took: 26.268907552s
node-03 refreshed successfully! Took: 26.753072643s
node-01 refreshed successfully! Took: 27.024496418s
node-02 refreshed successfully! Took: 27.654374677s

With concurrency set to 3

$ ./impala-refresher --table mytable --nodes node-01,node-02,node-03,node-04,node-05,node-06 --concurrency 3
Refreshing node-01's metadata...
Refreshing node-02's metadata...
Refreshing node-03's metadata...
node-02 refreshed successfully! Took: 19.313201ms
node-01 refreshed successfully! Took: 19.564682ms
node-03 refreshed successfully! Took: 20.187352ms
Refreshing node-04's metadata...
Refreshing node-05's metadata...
Refreshing node-06's metadata...
node-04 refreshed successfully! Took: 22.933899ms
node-05 refreshed successfully! Took: 40.255635ms
node-06 refreshed successfully! Took: 45.224793ms

How To Build

The only requirement is go, The build time is basically instant. The binary can be used anywhere, it doesn't require any special libraries on the host as far as I know. I've tested on systems as old as CentOS 5.6.

Building:

$ git clone git://github.com/rickysaltzer/impala-refresher.git
$ cd impala-refresher
$ go build
$ ls
impala-refresher.go impala-refresher
