Issue with impersonation in CDW Impala connections

You may see the following error while creating or editing the data connection to a CDW Impala or Hive Virtual Warehouse and using the connection details auto-populated from the CDW Warehouse drop-down:

User <username> is not authorized to delegate to <username>.

This happens because the Impersonation and Trusted Impersonation options are both enabled.

Workaround:

If the message appears when creating a new data connection, try refreshing the page. This will reset the Impersonation and Trusted Impersonation options.

If the message appears on the Edit Data Connection modal, copy the hostname, username, HTTP path, and other values present on the Advanced tab, and manually edit the existing CDW Hive connections. A manual edit will typically not trigger this bug.

Partitioned Cloudera Impala on premise extract tables cannot be updated

Tables in Cloudera Impala that are both partitioned and set as extract targets cannot be updated directly. This prevents operations such as dropping or adding new partitions.

Workaround:

Move the data to a new table that supports altering commands. Then replace the original extract table by renaming the newly created table. Optionally, you can create a backup of the original table before replacing it.

A sample SQL workflow is provided below. Customize the components marked in blue, while the remaining parts of the query are standard.

  1. Create a temporary table (database_name.new_table_name) that supports altering.

    create table database_name.cdv_table_name_new (table_definition) partitioned by (partition_field string) tblproperties('transactional'='false');

  2. Copy existing data from the original extract target.

    insert into database_name.cdv_table_name_new partition(partition_field) select * from database_name.cdv_table_name;

  3. [Optional] Save the original extract target as a backup.

    alter table database_name.cdv_table_name rename to database_name.cdv_table_name_bak;

  4. Make the temporary table the current extract target.

    alter table database_name.cdv_table_name_new rename to database_name.cdv_table_name;
