Description

On CDH4.1, Impala requires running against a Hive Metastore Service to properly support backwards compatibility with Hive 9 Metastore. If Impala is configured to directly connect to the metastore database, queries may fail with the following error. To work around this problem, run a Hive Metastore Service which will handle compatibility problems.
