+      
+      You can use Impala to query data residing on the Azure Data Lake Store (ADLS) filesystem.
+      This capability allows convenient access to a storage system that is remotely managed,
+      accessible from anywhere, and integrated with various cloud-based services. Impala can
+      query files in any supported file format from ADLS. The ADLS storage location
+      can be for an entire table, or individual partitions in a partitioned table.
+    </p>
+
+    <p class="p">
+      The default Impala tables use data files stored on HDFS, which are ideal for bulk loads and queries using
+      full-table scans. In contrast, queries against ADLS data are less performant, making ADLS suitable for holding
+      <span class="q">"cold"</span> data that is only queried occasionally, while more frequently accessed <span class="q">"hot"</span> data resides in
+      HDFS. In a partitioned table, you can set the <code class="ph codeph">LOCATION</code> attribute for individual partitions
+      to put some partitions on HDFS and others on ADLS, typically depending on the age of the data.

+
+      <p class="p">
+        Just as with tables located on HDFS storage, you can designate ADLS-based tables as either internal (managed
+        by Impala) or external, by using the syntax <code class="ph codeph">CREATE TABLE</code> or <code class="ph codeph">CREATE EXTERNAL
+        TABLE</code> respectively. When you drop an internal table, the files associated with the table are
+        removed, even if they are on ADLS storage. When you drop an external table, the files associated with the
+        table are left alone, and are still available for access by other tools or components. See
+        <a class="xref" href="impala_tables.html#tables">Overview of Impala Tables</a> for details.
+      </p>
+
+      <p class="p">
+        If the data on ADLS is intended to be long-lived and accessed by other tools in addition to Impala, create
+        any associated ADLS tables with the <code class="ph codeph">CREATE EXTERNAL TABLE</code> syntax, so that the files are not
+        deleted from ADLS when the table is dropped.
+      </p>
+
+      <p class="p">
+        If the data on ADLS is only needed for querying by Impala and can be safely discarded once the Impala
+        workflow is complete, create the associated ADLS tables using the <code class="ph codeph">CREATE TABLE</code> syntax, so
+        that dropping the table also deletes the corresponding data files on ADLS.
+      </p>
+
+      <p class="p">
+        For example, this session creates a table in ADLS with the same column layout as a table in HDFS, then
+        examines the ADLS table and queries some data from it. The table in ADLS works the same as a table in HDFS as
+        far as the expected file format of the data, table and column statistics, and other table properties. The
+        only indication that it is not an HDFS table is the <code class="ph codeph">adl://</code> URL in the
+        <code class="ph codeph">LOCATION</code> property. Many data files can reside in the ADLS directory, and their combined
+        contents form the table data. Because the data in this example is uploaded after the table is created, a
+        <code class="ph codeph">REFRESH</code> statement prompts Impala to update its cached information about the data files.

+  
+
+      <div class="body conbody">
+
+        <p class="p">
+          Although Impala queries for data stored in ADLS might be less performant than queries against the
+          equivalent data stored in HDFS, you can still do some tuning. Here are techniques you can use to
+          interpret explain plans and profiles for queries against ADLS data, and tips to achieve the best
+          performance possible for such queries.
+        </p>
+
+        <p class="p">
+          All else being equal, performance is expected to be lower for queries running against data on ADLS rather
+          than HDFS. The actual mechanics of the <code class="ph codeph">SELECT</code> statement are somewhat different when the
+          data is in ADLS. Although the work is still distributed across the datanodes of the cluster, Impala might
+          parallelize the work for a distributed query differently for data on HDFS and ADLS. ADLS does not have the
+          same block notion as HDFS, so Impala uses heuristics to determine how to split up large ADLS files for
+          processing in parallel. Because all hosts can access any ADLS data file with equal efficiency, the
+          distribution of work might be different than for HDFS data, where the data blocks are physically read
+          using short-circuit local reads by hosts that contain the appropriate block replicas. Although the I/O to
+          read the ADLS data might be spread evenly across the hosts of the cluster, the fact that all data is
+          initially retrieved across the network means that the overall query performance is likely to be lower for
+          ADLS data than for HDFS data.
+        </p>
+
+        <p class="p">
+        Because ADLS does not expose the block sizes of data files the way HDFS does,
+        any Impala <code class="ph codeph">INSERT</code> or <code class="ph codeph">CREATE TABLE AS SELECT</code> statements
+        use the <code class="ph codeph">PARQUET_FILE_SIZE</code> query option setting to define the size of
+        Parquet data files. (Using a large block size is more important for Parquet tables than
+        for tables that use other file formats.)
+      </p>
+
+        <p class="p">
+          When optimizing aspects of for complex queries such as the join order, Impala treats tables on HDFS and
+          ADLS the same way. Therefore, follow all the same tuning recommendations for ADLS tables as for HDFS ones,
+          such as using the <code class="ph codeph">COMPUTE STATS</code> statement to help Impala construct accurate estimates of
+          row counts and cardinality. See <a class="xref" href="impala_performance.html#performance">Tuning Impala for Performance</a> for details.
+        </p>
+
+        <p class="p">
+          In query profile reports, the numbers for <code class="ph codeph">BytesReadLocal</code>,
+          <code class="ph codeph">BytesReadShortCircuit</code>, <code class="ph codeph">BytesReadDataNodeCached</code>, and
+          <code class="ph codeph">BytesReadRemoteUnexpected</code> are blank because those metrics come from HDFS.
+          If you do see any indications that a query against an ADLS table performed <span class="q">"remote read"</span>
+          operations, do not be alarmed. That is expected because, by definition, all the I/O for ADLS tables involves
+          remote reads.
