Description

bin/impala-config.sh is crucial for setting a bunch of environment variables, but it also prints a bunch of output for the environment variables. Several scripts source bin/impala-config.sh because they need the environment variables, but then they don't redirect the output to /dev/null. We should crack down on that, because it is redundant output on the console.

Here is a list of locations that don't redirect:

testdata/bin/run-ranger-server.sh
bin/create_testdata.sh
bin/init-impala-python.sh
bin/run-cpplint.sh
bin/gen-cscope.sh

There may be other locations.
