> Project: IMPALA
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Docs

> Fix For: Impala 2.13.0, Impala 3.1.0

> On the page:
> http://impala.apache.org/docs/build3x/html/topics/impala_kudu.html, at the
> end of the section: "Impala DML Support for Kudu Tables (INSERT, UPDATE,
> DELETE, UPSERT)", we should add text like:
> Starting from Impala 2.9, Impala will automatically add a partition and sort
> step to INSERTs before sending the rows to Kudu. Since Kudu partitions and
> sorts rows on write, pre-partitioning and sorting takes some of the load off
> of Kudu, and helps ensure that large INSERTs complete without timing out, but
> it may slow down the end-to-end performance of the INSERT. Starting from
> Impala 2.10, the hints "/* +noshuffle,noclustered */" may be used to turn
> this pre-partitioning and sorting off. Additionally, since sorting may
> consume a lot of memory, users should consider setting a "mem_limit" for
> these queries.
