Tim Armstrong commented on IMPALA-8121:
---------------------------------------

I'm trying end-to-end tests with the catalog flag changes to see what breaks. 
Looks like a few tests failing so far:

> Pick better default flags in containers

> There are some new features of Impala that are done but disabled by default 
> because they are not strictly better than the previous versions. E.g. the 
> various metadata improvements. Containerised Impala is likely to be new 
> deployments, so it is easier to make potentially disruptive changes to 
> defaults now.
> h2. Metadata V2 Flags
> Catalogd:
> --catalog_topic_mode=minimal
> Impalad:
> --use_local_catalog=true
> I think we *may* also want to configure automatic invalidations of tables 
> from the catalogd so that changes to the underlying storage cluster are 
> eventually reflected in the compute cluster. There's a better solution in the 
> pipeline that uses HMS notifications 
> (https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IMPALA-7970), but in the meantime 
> invalidation is time-based.
> Catalogd:
> --invalidate_tables_timeout_s=3600
> Once IMPALA-7970 goes in, we probably also want automatic invalidation by 
> default (TBD - how to handle older HMS that doesn't support those APIs).
> Catalogd:
> --hms_event_polling_interval_s=???
> We probably want to enable HDFS preads for remote reads: -use_hdfs_pread
> We may want to have an I/O cache enabled
