Hi folks, Our company is looking to experiment with setting up Impala for some of our adhoc query workloads. I was working on setting up Impala to test things out and I ran into the following errors on startup, “Currently configured default filesystem: ViewFileSystem. fs.defaultFS (viewfs://root) is not supported.”. Noticed that this has been implemented as part of this jira: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IMPALA-77. Is this still currently not on the Impala roadmap? Are there any possible workarounds for users with federated namenodes?
The data we want to query as of now resides in one namenode’s namespace. A potential workaround for us might be to just expose that hdfs:// mount point directly. Not sure if anyone’s tried this and what kinds of issues they’ve run into. Thanks, Piyush
