             Summary: Impala Doc
                 Key: IMPALA-8391
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IMPALA-8391
             Project: IMPALA
          Issue Type: Sub-task
          Components: Docs
            Reporter: Sahil Takiar
            Assignee: Alex Rodoni


The Impala-Kudu docs:

[http://impala.apache.org/docs/build/html/topics/impala_kudu.html]
[http://impala.apache.org/docs/build/html/topics/impala_tables.html]

Need to be updated after IMPALA-7640 is merged.

Specifically this part of the docs will no longer be accurate:

{quote}
When you create a Kudu table through Impala, it is assigned an internal Kudu table name of the form {{impala::db_name.table_name}}. You can see the Kudu-assigned name in the output of {{DESCRIBE FORMATTED}}, in the {{kudu.table_name}} field of the table properties. The Kudu-assigned name remains the same even if you use {{ALTER TABLE}} to rename the Impala table or move it to a different Impala database. You can issue the statement{{ALTER TABLE impala_name SET TBLPROPERTIES('kudu.table_name' = 'different_kudu_table_name')}} for the external tables created with the {{CREATE EXTERNAL TABLE}} statement. Changing the {{kudu.table_name}}property of an external table switches which underlying Kudu table the Impala table refers to. The underlying Kudu table must already exist.
