Does Impala support ACID transactions?

Impala is not a database management system that fully supports ACID (Atomicity, Consistency, Isolation, Durability) transactions. While Impala offers rapid interactive query capabilities for data, it does not provide native ACID transaction support like traditional relational database systems.

In Impala, certain transaction properties may not be fully guaranteed due to its distributed, parallel query architecture. While Impala supports transaction statements like BEGIN TRANSACTION, COMMIT, and ROLLBACK similar to SQL, it does not emphasize true ACID transactions.

If you require complex transaction processing with high demand for ACID transaction support, you may need to consider using traditional relational database systems like MySQL or PostgreSQL. Impala is better suited for large-scale data processing and analysis, rather than as a replacement for traditional transactional workloads.
