Hi folks, I’m running into some issues when I try to compute incremental stats in Impala that I was hoping someone would be able to help with. I’m able to ‘compute stats’ in Impala on my smaller tables just fine. When I try computing stats incrementally for one of my larger tables, I seem to be running into this error: > compute incremental stats bi_ full partition > (param1=0,day='2017-10-04',hour=00,host_platform='EU'); Query: compute incremental stats bi_full partition (param1=0,day='2017-10-04',hour=00,host_platform='EU') WARNINGS: ImpalaRuntimeException: Error making 'alter_partitions' RPC to Hive Metastore: CAUSED BY: InvalidOperationException: alter is not possible
Looking at impalad.INFO and catalogd.INFO I don’t see any additional details. I verified that I’m the owner of the tables in HDFS. Has anyone run into this issue in the past? Any workarounds? Thanks, -- Piyush
