             Summary: Use IMPALA_COMPRESSED_DEBUG_INFO=true by default
                 Key: IMPALA-12684
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IMPALA-12684
             Project: IMPALA
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Infrastructure
    Affects Versions: Impala 4.4.0
            Reporter: Joe McDonnell


A large part of the Impala binary's size is debug information. The 
IMPALA_COMPRESSED_DEBUG_INFO environment variable was introduced in 
IMPALA-11511 and reduces the binary size by >50%. For developer environments, 
this is can dramatically reduce disk space usage, especially when building the 
backend tests. The downside is slower linking and slower processing of the 
debuginfo (attaching with GDB, dumping symbols for minidumps).

The disk space difference is very large, and this can help enable us to expand 
debug information for the toolchain. We should switch the default value to true.
