Edward, do you have any suggestions on how to say the following succinctly: "Impala is similar to Hive in a number of ways which enable the two to be used in concert: 1. Impala stores metadata in the HMS in a way that all Hive versions between 2013(?) and March 2017 understand, and the Impala community intends for this to be the case going forward. 2. Impala presents an interface to the world that uses the same API as HS2 version P.Q.R-X.Y.Z, and the Impala community intends for this to be the case going forward. 3. Impala, like Hive versions A.B.C-D.E.F, uses SQL, and there is a large shared subset of SQL they both understand with the same semantics." -- To view, visit http://gerrit.cloudera.org:8080/6567 To unsubscribe, visit http://gerrit.cloudera.org:8080/settings Gerrit-MessageType: comment Gerrit-Change-Id: I4e38dc15c31dbb3e297e1d3f9e8251a1fa22d1a7 Gerrit-PatchSet: 1 Gerrit-Project: Impala-ASF Gerrit-Branch: asf-site Gerrit-Owner: Jim Apple <jbapple-imp...@apache.org> Gerrit-Reviewer: Anonymous Coward #290 Gerrit-Reviewer: Jim Apple <jbapple-imp...@apache.org> Gerrit-Reviewer: Matthew Jacobs <m...@cloudera.com> Gerrit-HasComments: No
