CM 4.6 -> 4.6.3 + Impala 1.0.1 -> 1.1 upgrade. HUE "Refresh button" doesn't work

[#1]

Impala "select version()" does return correct verison: 1.1.1

But button "REFRESH" doesn't work.

Here is HUE log:

Impala, HUE services have been restarted. We are using CDH 4.3

CDH, Impala installed using parcels.

After Impala 1.1 please instead either type one of these queries:

1. invalidate metadata
2. refresh MY_TABLE_NAME
