Behavioral changes in Apache Impala
With the upgrade to Thrift 0.16, Thrift now has protection against malicious message in
the form of maximum size for messages. This is currently set to 100MB by default. This SP2
release adds a backend flag thrift_rpc_max_message_size
to override the default
MAX_MESSAGE_SIZE
. This new flag is set to 1GB by default to minimize
interruption on the existing Impala workload. You may adjust this up to 2GB, which is the hard
limit of this flag.
