--------------------------------------
Summary: Produce impala-shell tarball using pip install
Key: IMPALA-13551
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IMPALA-13551
Project: IMPALA
Issue Type: Task
Components: Clients
Affects Versions: Impala 4.5.0
Reporter: Joe McDonnell
Currently, the impala-shell tarball is produced by compiling the python
packages in shell/ext-py into wheels then installing those wheels into
directories that become part of the shell tarball. There are two problems with
this. First, we have a lot of dependencies checked into shell/ext-py and it is
annoying to update those when they change (see IMPALA-11399). Second,
constructing the shell tarball involves a lot of copying code and dependencies
into place. The steps are convoluted.
Since we support pip installing impala-shell, the shell tarball can simply be
pip installing impala-shell into directories for the supported python versions
and having the top-level impala-shell script dispatch to the right directory
for that python version. This would eliminate the shell/ext-py code and also
make the shell tarball easier to understand.
