This document evaluates the performance of Cloudera Impala 1.0 using a modified HiBench benchmark on a 11-node cluster. It finds that Parquet files compressed with Snappy provide the fastest query performance, completing in 16.2 seconds on average. The order of joined tables can also impact performance. Impala shows significant performance improvements over Hive, with the fastest query being over 14 times faster. Additional functions like UDFs and window functions are recommended for future Impala extensions.
