    Description

      Currently, when the catalog server is down, catalog clients will fail all RPCs sent to it. In essence, DDL queries will fail and the Impala service becomes a lot less functional. Catalog clients should consider retrying failed RPCs with some exponential backoff in between while catalog server is being restarted after crashing. We probably need to add a test to exercise the paths of catalog restart to verify coordinators are resilient to it.
