All languages:

  • All source files should include the standard Apache license header.
  • All lines should be limited to 90 characters in width
  • Remove trailing whitespace. To automate this, install pre-commit.sh into .git/hooks/pre-commit and make it executable.

C++

See the C++ Style Guide

Java

  • Currently undocumented - new code should follow existing style conventions.

Thrift

We don't have a formal style guide, but we do adhere to a few conventions:

  • Structs
    • Struct names begin with a "T", and use a capital letter for each new word, with no underscores.
    • All fields should be declared as either optional or required
    • Don't use semicolons after struct member declarations; they're optional, so we optimize for typing efficiency.
  • Functions
    • Function names start with a capital letter and have a capital letter for each new word, with no underscores.
    • Each function should take exactly one parameter, named FunctionNameParameter, and should return either void or FunctionNameResponse. This convention allows incremental updates.
  • Parameters
    • Parameter names use camel case (with no underscores).
  • Services
    • Service names should end in the word "Service"

Here's an example:

service MetadataRepositoryService {
  TRegisterResponse Register(1: TRegisterRequest request);
}

struct TRegisterRequest {
  1: required list<string> applicationIds
  2: required TNetworkAddress address
}

struct TRegisterResponse {
  1: required set<TMetadatum> metadata
}

 

Python

When editing existing code, you should follow existing code style in the file you are editing. In general, our code tries to follow PEP8 style with some exceptions:

  • We wrap lines at 90 characters (instead of 80)
  • We use 2 spaces indent (instead of 4)

We automatically run flake8-diff on jobs pre-commit to report style violations on lines that patches modify. It is configured using setup.cfg in the Impala repository. You can run flake8 on a specific file with the impala-flake8 script:

# Works in an Impala development environment. Lists all violations for a file or subdirectory.
impala-flake8 <path to file>

# Show newly introduced violations for your current HEAD commit in git.
# Requires you to install flake8-diff separately.
flake8-diff HEAD^ HEAD

# Generate the same violations as the Impala jenkins bot for your current HEAD commit in git.
./bin/jenkins/critique-gerrit-review.py --dryrun


The following tools have also been found useful by developers to scan and/or automatically fix formatting issues:

  • pycodestyle (formerly known as pep8) - A checker for PEP8 conformance
  • autopep8 - A tool that automatically formats code to conform with PEP8
  • vim-syntastic - A plugin for vim that can highlight style violations

All tools above can be used with the same configuration file. As a starting point, consider using this one:

[pep8]
# E101 - Reindent all lines.
# E111 - indentation is not a multiple of four
# E114 - indentation is not a multiple of four (comment)
# E251 - Remove whitespace around parameter '=' sign.
# E301 - Add missing blank line.
ignore = E101,E111,E114,E251,E301
max-line-length = 90
