How to adjust memory management parameters in Impala?

In Impala, memory management parameters can be adjusted by modifying the Impala configuration file. Here are the steps to adjust memory management parameters.

1. Open the configuration file for Impala, which is typically located at /etc/impala/conf/impala-site.xml.
2. Find relevant memory management parameters in the configuration file, such as mem_limit, mem_limit_query, mem_limit_hard_limit, mem_limit_max, and mem_limit_startup.
3. Modify the values of these parameters as needed. For example, you can increase the value of the mem_limit_query parameter to increase the memory limit for queries.
4. Save and close the configuration file.
5. Restart the Impala service to apply the new configuration.

Please be cautious when adjusting memory management parameters to ensure that the new settings are in line with the system’s memory resources and performance requirements. It is recommended to back up the original configuration file before making any changes to prevent any unexpected situations.
