Description

Impala partitions and sorts rows according to the target table's partitioning scheme before inserting them into Kudu to improve the performance of large inserts.

IMPALA-5546 added the ability to create unpartitioned Kudu tables.We still add the partition and sort when inserting into these tables even though its just wasted work.
