May 1, 2025May 2025: Delivered two strategic outcomes for Impala: (1) Iceberg ScanMetrics integration documentation within query profiles to enhance observability (no code changes); (2) Build/dependency hygiene: upgraded glog to 0.6.0 and applied Kudu compilation fixes after a rebase (including CMakeLists and logging config adjustments). These efforts improve profiling visibility, reduce build breakages, and smooth Iceberg/Kudu integration. Overall impact: better observability, more stable builds, and clearer engineering practices. Technologies/skills demonstrated: documentation, build system maintenance (CMake), dependency management, rebasing and debugging cross-repo changes, and instrumentation for Iceberg workloads.
