Impala - alternative way to install

[#1]

Hi. I'm trying to install Impala in my cluster. I found two ways to do that:

1. HDP + Impala. There is a problem with two libraries:

Error: Package: impala-shell-2.7.0+cdh5.9.0+0-1.cdh5.9.0.p0.32.el6.x86_64 (cloudera-cdh5)
           Requires: libpython2.6.so.1.0()(64bit)
Error: Package: impala-2.7.0+cdh5.9.0+0-1.cdh5.9.0.p0.32.el6.x86_64 (cloudera-cdh5)
           Requires: libsasl2.so.2()(64bit)

I don't know where is the problem. I think it might be a problem with OS or differences between HDP and CDH.

2. Official wiki instruction. But, as you can see, prerequisite is Ubuntu. I use CentOS 7.

Does anyone know alternative way to install Impala?

My cluster: HDP 2.4, CentOS 7

HDP does not support Impala so thus it should not be installed.

Hortonworks is committed to Hive LLAP which provides Impala capabilities (in-memory). It comes with the platform out of the box, but needs a few configurations to get it up and running.

Offical HDP does not support Impala.But I have written a impala service that can make impala on HDP enabled.

Hi Xu Zhe,

I have executed steps mentioned below URL. All steps completed successfully but still not able to view Impala in Ambari UI.

May I know what is causing issue?
