Description

It'd be convinient to start Impala cluster with local catalog mode by a command like

bin/start-impala-cluster.py --use_local_catalog 

Currently, we need to use a longer command which is easier to have typos:

bin/start-impala-cluster.py --catalogd_args=--catalog_topic_mode=minimal --impalad_args=--use_local_catalog
