Description

When the path to sentry-site.xml contains spaces, impalad and catalogd start up failed.
The error information is as follows:
2016-08-26 12:22:45,454373 ERROR impala: java.lang.RuntimeException: Sentry configuration file does not exist: /home/mr/impala/conf/sentry-site.xml

After checking the configuration of impalad and catalogd, found the reason is that the absolute path to the sentry-site.xml which set in sentry_config contains spaces.

The solution is to remove the spaces from the path to the sentry-site.xml when impalad and catalogd reading configuration in process of startup.
