             Summary: Update "Debugging Impala Minidumps" Wiki page
                 Key: IMPALA-12799
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IMPALA-12799
             Project: IMPALA
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Docs
    Affects Versions: Impala 4.3.0
            Reporter: Joe McDonnell


The Wiki page "Debugging Impala Minidumps" is a bit stale and could use some modifications. Specifically:
 # In IMPALA-12125, we added the ability to dump symbols for OS packages that don't have a separate symbols package. Some commercial distributions of Impala such as Cloudera's CDP produce this type of packaging.
 # The documentation for dumping symbols from OS packages references packages from Cloudera's CDH 5.8. This is an old version, and it would be useful for the example to be on a more up-to-date version.
 # The section "Extracting from Jenkins build artifacts" does not seem to be useful anymore.
 # minidump-2-core is definitely a useful workflow and filling in information about it would be useful. In particular, a valuable technique is to use minidump-2-core, then run gdb with the unstripped binary. Examining the stack can yield the query / thread that crashed.
