Announcing: Cloudera Impala 1.2.4

[#1]

Dear Cloudera Impala and CDH users,

We are pleased to announce the general availability of Cloudera Impala 1.2.4. This maintenance release fixes issues with the Catalog Service as well as a few other bugs, and enables metadata refreshes without full server permissions.

Note that Impala 1.2.4 does not work with Cloudera Manager 4.7 or earlier. If your environment is managed by Cloudera Manager, you should upgrade to Impala 1.2.4 and Cloudera Manager 4.8 together.

For more details on new Impala features, please see “New Features in Impala”.
