Description

To make it easy to override the Hadoop components used for building and developing Impala, it is useful to be able to specify custom versions/URLs for downloading components. These already exist for CDH through is use of IMPALA_*_URL environment variables. The same should be possible with CDP components.

This is also useful to allow trying out newer component packages before updating to a newer build number.
