+      One construct that Impala SQL does <em class="ph i">not</em> support is

a single query with both

subset of SQL statements that modify the data stored in

append-only nature of HDFS storage,
+      currently Impala only supports a small set of DML statements:

+
+    <p class="p">
+      <code class="ph codeph">INSERT</code> in Impala is primarily optimized 
for inserting large volumes of data in a single
+      statement, to make effective use of the multi-megabyte HDFS blocks. This 
is the way in Impala to create new
+      data files. If you intend to insert one or a few rows at a time, such as 
using the <code class="ph codeph">INSERT ...
+      VALUES</code> syntax, that technique is much more efficient for Impala 
tables stored in HBase. See
+      <a class="xref" href="impala_hbase.html#impala_hbase">Using Impala to 
Query HBase Tables</a> for details.
+    </p>
+
+    <p class="p">
+      <code class="ph codeph">LOAD DATA</code> moves existing data files into 
the directory for an Impala table, making them
+      immediately available for Impala queries. This is one way in Impala to 
work with data files produced by other
+      Hadoop components. (<code class="ph codeph">CREATE EXTERNAL TABLE</code> 
is the other alternative; with external tables,
+      you can query existing data files, while the files remain in their 
original location.)
+    </p>
+
+    <p class="p">
+      In <span class="keyword">Impala 2.8</span> and higher, Impala does 
support the <code class="ph codeph">UPDATE</code>, <code class="ph 
codeph">DELETE</code>,
+      and <code class="ph codeph">UPSERT</code> statements for Kudu tables.
+      For HDFS or S3 tables, to simulate the effects of an <code class="ph 
codeph">UPDATE</code> or <code class="ph codeph">DELETE</code> statement
+      in other database systems, typically you use <code class="ph 
codeph">INSERT</code> or <code class="ph codeph">CREATE TABLE AS SELECT</code> 
to copy data
+      from one table to another, filtering out or changing the appropriate 
rows during the copy operation.
+    </p>
+
+    <p class="p">
+      You can also achieve a result similar to <code class="ph 
codeph">UPDATE</code> by using Impala tables stored in HBase.
+      When you insert a row into an HBase table, and the table
+      already contains a row with the same value for the key column, the older 
row is hidden, effectively the same
+      as a single-row <code class="ph codeph">UPDATE</code>.
+    </p>
+
+    <p class="p">
+      Impala can perform DML operations for tables or partitions stored in the 
Amazon S3 filesystem
+      with <span class="keyword">Impala 2.6</span> and higher. See <a

+      </p>
+
+    <p class="p">
+      You typically use this statement when the statistics for a table or a 
partition have become stale due to data
+      files being added to or removed from the associated HDFS data 
directories, whether by manual HDFS operations
+      or <code class="ph codeph">INSERT</code>, <code class="ph codeph">INSERT 
OVERWRITE</code>, or <code class="ph codeph">LOAD DATA</code> statements, or
+      adding or dropping partitions.
+    </p>
+
+    <p class="p">
+      When a table or partition has no associated statistics, Impala treats it 
as essentially zero-sized when
+      constructing the execution plan for a query. In particular, the 
statistics influence the order in which
+      tables are joined in a join query. To ensure proper query planning and 
good query performance and
+      scalability, make sure to run <code class="ph codeph">COMPUTE 
STATS</code> or <code class="ph codeph">COMPUTE INCREMENTAL STATS</code> on
+      the table or partition after removing any stale statistics.
+    </p>
+
+    <p class="p">
+      Dropping the statistics is not required for an unpartitioned table or a 
partitioned table covered by the
+      original type of statistics. A subsequent <code class="ph 
codeph">COMPUTE STATS</code> statement replaces any existing
+      statistics with new ones, for all partitions, regardless of whether the 
old ones were outdated. Therefore,
+      this statement was rarely used before the introduction of incremental 
statistics.
+    </p>
+
+    <p class="p">
+      Dropping the statistics is required for a partitioned table containing 
incremental statistics, to make a
+      subsequent <code class="ph codeph">COMPUTE INCREMENTAL STATS</code> 
statement rescan an existing partition. See
+      <a class="xref" href="impala_perf_stats.html#perf_stats">Table and 
Column Statistics</a> for information about incremental statistics, a new 
feature
+      available in Impala 2.1.0 and higher.

leaves all

under the control of other Hadoop

original locations.
+      </li>
+
+      <li class="li">
+        Impala might leave the data files behind unintentionally, if there is 
no HDFS location available to hold

See

+    </ul>
+
+    <p class="p">
+      Make sure that you are in the correct database before dropping a table, 
either by issuing a
+      <code class="ph codeph">USE</code> statement first or by using a fully 
qualified name
+      <code class="ph codeph"><var class="keyword varname">db_name</var>.<var

+    <p class="p">
+      The <code class="ph codeph">DROP TABLE</code> statement can remove data

+      In <span class="keyword">Impala 2.6</span> and higher, as part of 
improved support for writing

internal table

+      See <a class="xref" href="impala_s3.html#s3">Using Impala with the 
Amazon S3 Filesystem</a> for details about working with S3 tables.

<code class="ph codeph">DROP TABLE</code> when dropping internal (managed) 
tables.</li>
+        </ul>
+        By default, when you drop an internal (managed) table, the data files 
are
+        moved to the HDFS trashcan. This operation is expensive for tables that
+        reside on the Amazon S3 filesystem. Therefore, for S3 tables, prefer 
to use
+        <code class="ph codeph">DROP TABLE <var class="keyword 
varname">table_name</var> PURGE</code> rather than the default <code class="ph 
codeph">DROP TABLE</code> statement.
+        The <code class="ph codeph">PURGE</code> clause makes Impala delete 
the data files immediately,
+        skipping the HDFS trashcan.
+        For the <code class="ph codeph">PURGE</code> clause to work 
effectively, you must originally create the
+        data files on S3 using one of the tools from the Hadoop ecosystem, 
such as
+        <code class="ph codeph">hadoop fs -cp</code>, or <code class="ph

default value to make this optimization apply to more queries.

apply this optimization
+      incorrectly to queries that actually involve substantial work, you might 
see the queries being slower as a
+      result of remote reads. In that case, recompute statistics with the 
<code class="ph codeph">COMPUTE STATS</code>
+      or <code class="ph codeph">COMPUTE INCREMENTAL STATS</code> statement. 
If there is a problem collecting accurate

supports the complex data types <code class="ph codeph">STRUCT</code>,

distributing the query work and not

because the result set is guaranteed
