impala-shell on mac

[#1]

Has anyone successfully run/installed impala-shell on mac ?

I've copied impala-shell from /usr/bin and impala-shell directory from /usr/lib to my home directory. When I'm trying to launch impala-shell I get this error. I tried pip install sasl but it didn't solve the problem. I'm running python 2.7.11 in my machine.

macofsunil:bin sparmar$ ./impala-shell

You can pip install impala-shell from github:

$ pip install git+git://github.com/dknupp/impala-shell.git

afterwards you can run impala-shell to connect to your cluster:

$ impala-shell -i my_impalad.foo.cloudera.com
