Description

Impala/infra/python/env is the environment where necessary upstream python libraries and packages get installed – e.g., the packages listed in https://github.com/apache/impala/blob/master/infra/python/deps/requirements.txt and other similar files.

Impala's own internal python code (like the impala-shell, or the common test libraries that we rely upon) should be made available the same way – as actual packages installed into the environment – rather than by resorting to PYTHONPATH/sys.path sleight-of-hand, performed by such as bin/set-pythonpath.sh and bin/impala-python-common.sh.
