Description

We currently hardcode the postgres client version in at least 2 places:

$ git grep 9.0-801
bin/impala-config.sh:129:export IMPALA_POSTGRES_JDBC_DRIVER_VERSION=9.0-801
fe/pom.xml:425:      <version>9.0-801.jdbc4</version>

Apparently version 9 of the JDBC driver doesn't support connecting to postgres 10 (Some info here). We should upgrade to v42+.
