Hi, The issuing a REFRESH will broadcast the updated table to all nodes. There may be a short delay after the command completes before the changes are visible on remote nodes. This is because we must wait for a statestore update to propagate the changes out. If you need stronger consistency guarantees (the change is visible on all nodes at the time it completes) you can use the query option: SET SYNC_DDL=true This will impact DDL performance, so it is disabled by default. For optimal performance, you can batch your DDL statements and only enable this query option for the final statement in the batch. For example: > connect to node 1 CREATE TABLE Foo ALTER TABLE ADD PARTITION 1 .. SET SYNC_DDL=true ALTER TABLE ADD PARTITION N > connect to node2 SELECT * FROM TABLE Thanks, Lenni ... View more

You might be pointing to an old Impala repo under /etc/yum.repos.d/. You can either cleanup the old repo files under /etc/yum.repos.d/ or force only the CDH5 repo to be used: sudo yum install impala --disablerepo='*' --enablerepo="cloudera-cdh5" Thanks, Lenni ... View more

Hi Minutis, Have you tried upgrading to Impala v1.2.4? We made some enhancements in that release to fetch partitions in batches which should resolve your problem. Thanks, Lenni ... View more
