             Summary: RPC to submit query getting stuck for AWS NLB for ever.
                 Key: IMPALA-10811
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IMPALA-10811
             Project: IMPALA
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: Amogh Margoor


Initial RPC to submit a query and fetch the query handle can take quite long 
time to return due to expensive Catalog Operations like Rename, Alter Table 
Recover partition on tables with many partitions. Attached is the profile of 
one such DDL query.

These RPCs are: 

1. Beeswax:

[https://github.com/apache/impala/blob/b28da054f3595bb92873433211438306fc22fbc7/be/src/service/impala-beeswax-server.cc#L57]

2. HS2:

[https://github.com/apache/impala/blob/b28da054f3595bb92873433211438306fc22fbc7/be/src/service/impala-hs2-server.cc#L462]

 

One of the side effects of such RPC taking long time is that clients such as 
impala-shell using AWS NLB can get stuck for ever. The reason is NLB tracks and 
closes connections after 350s and cannot be configured. But after closing the 
connection it doesn;t send TCP RST to the client. Only when client tries to 
send data or packets NLB issues back TCP RST to indicate connection is not 
alive. Documentation is here: 
[https://docs.aws.amazon.com/elasticloadbalancing/latest/network/network-load-balancers.html#connection-idle-timeout].
 Hence the impala-shell waiting for RPC to return gets stuck indefinitely.

Hence, we may need to evaluate techniques for RPCs to return query handle 
sooner right after the Query Registration () and execute later parts of RPC 
asynchronously so that clients can get query handle and poll for it for results.
