Hi Vikram,   If you have installed Impala with Cloudera Manager, use Cloudera Manager to start and stop services. Because CM UI can start services in a group and it takes care to start all impala services (i.e. impala-server, impala-state-store, impala-catelog) in its correct order.   Also if you wanted to start impala services as an startup action of cloudera manager, you can find information on same in below link.   http://www.cloudera.com/content/cloudera-content/cloudera-docs/Impala/latest/Installing-and-Using-Impala/ciiu_config_options.html?scroll=config_options_cm_unique_1   ...
