# apache-airflow-providers-apache-impala — Provider package apache-airflow-providers-apache-impala for Apache Airflow

License: permissive · Maintenance: active · Downloads: 2.9M/mo

## What it is and what it does

This is an Apache Airflow provider package that adds Apache Impala support to Airflow workflows. It supplies operators and hooks that allow you to define, schedule, and execute Impala SQL queries as part of Airflow DAGs, integrating Impala database operations into larger data pipeline orchestrations.

The package depends on impyla for Impala connectivity, plus Airflow's common SQL and compatibility providers. It supports Python 3.10 through 3.14 and is actively maintained as part of the Apache Airflow ecosystem. Optional extras for Kerberos authentication and SQLAlchemy are available for extended functionality.

Use it for:

- Schedule and orchestrate regular Impala SQL queries as part of data pipeline DAGs in Airflow
- Integrate Impala data transformations into multi-step workflows alongside other data sources
- Monitor and log Impala query execution within Airflow's centralized task tracking and alerting
- Build data warehouse ETL pipelines that read from or write to Impala tables

## Worth the install?

AI-flagged interpretation of the facts above — verify before relying.

Integrates Apache Impala with Apache Airflow, providing operators and hooks to query and manage Impala databases within Airflow workflows.

Yes, if you run Apache Airflow and need to query or manage Apache Impala databases. The package is actively maintained, has low install friction, carries a permissive license, and integrates cleanly with Airflow's provider ecosystem. No known vulnerabilities. Install only if Impala is part of your data stack.

## Install

pip install apache-airflow-providers-apache-impala
uv add apache-airflow-providers-apache-impala

## Installing apache-airflow-providers-apache-impala

Before you install: Low friction install with active maintenance. Requires Apache Airflow >=2.11.0 and impyla >=0.22.0,<1.0. Last release 68 days ago with active repository status.

License in practice: Apache-2.0 permissive license allows commercial use, modification, and distribution with minimal restrictions.

Quickstart:

pip install apache-airflow-providers-apache-impala

from airflow.providers.apache.impala.operators.impala import ImpalaOperator
from airflow import DAG

with DAG('impala_query') as dag:
    query_task = ImpalaOperator(
        task_id='run_impala_query',
        sql='SELECT * FROM table_name'
    )

Requires Apache Airflow >=2.11.0 and Python >=3.10; impyla >=0.22.0,<1.0 must be available.
