Description

When building on Redhat 9, the impala-shell from the shell tarball does not work with SASL. When trying to connect using SASL, it fails with this:

Error connecting: AttributeError, module 'sasl' has no attribute 'Client'

This shows up for shell tests when using --strict_hs2_protocol to connect to Hive. However, it is not specific to Hive. Modifying LdapImpalaShellTest.java to use the impala-shell from the tarball yields the same error.

Oddly enough, the pip installed impala-shell does not show this problem at all (nor does bin/impala-shell.sh).
