Description

We don't appear to document which distributions Impala is actually supported on. We should clarify this going forward in Impala 4.0. We already sent out a mail to the user list with a proposal: https://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/impala-user/202004.mbox/browser

I think de-facto it is Ubuntu 16.04 and 18.04, CentOS/RHEL7 and soon 8 (and compatible variants) and maybe SLES12
