Hello Sailesh Mukil, I'd like you to reexamine a change. Please visit
http://gerrit.cloudera.org:8080/5840 to look at the new patch set (#6). Change subject: IMPALA-4828: Alter Kudu schema outside Impala may crash on read ...................................................................... IMPALA-4828: Alter Kudu schema outside Impala may crash on read Creating a table in Impala, changing the column schema outside of Impala, and then reading again in Impala may result in a crash. Impala may attempt to dereference pointers that aren't there. This happens if a string column is dropped and then a new, non string column is added with the old string column's name. The Kudu scan token contains the projection schema, and that is validated when opening the Kudu scanner, but the issue is that during planning, Impala assumes the types of columns haven't changed when creating the scan tokens. This is fixed by adding a check when creating the scan token, and failing the query if the column types changed. Impala then relies on the Kudu client to properly validate that the underlying schema is still represented by the scan token, and that deserialization will fail if it no longer matches. A test case was added for this particular crash scenario, which now fails during planning as expected. This does not attempt to validate the Kudu client validation at deserialization time, though that would be valuable coverage to add in the future. Columns being removed don't produce a crash; the query fails gracefully. A test was added for this case. Columns being added should not affect this scenario, but a test was added anyway.
