Arun, Docker licensing issues are all around Docker Desktop. Docker (engine) is free to use on the server. Building Impala and creating Docker images are a fairly straightforward process as long as you build on ubuntu, and all the info you need is covered in the README docs. I did run into a few minor quirks when I built, but the fixes were obvious at the time. I did all my building on AWS instances.
I do recommend running Impala on Docker because it eliminates any dependency issues. There is a theoretical latency of 2ms, but if that is a concern you probably would be using something other than Impala :) On Mon, Feb 20, 2023 at 9:24 AM Arun J <mail....@gmail.com> wrote: > Cliff, > Thanks - obviously I beg for support to get going with each of these for > setting up the cluster.
