Description

I created a Kudu table from the API which is unpartitioned (using setRangePartitions({}) from the Java client). This is allowed (it creates a single-tablet table) but the lack of partitioning scheme seems to confuse Impala. The catalogd is logging:

TProtocolException: Required field 'partition_by' was not present! Struct: TKuduTable(table_name:IntegrationTestBigLinkedList, master_addresses:[xxx], key_columns:[key1, key2], partition_by:null)
