Description

Regarding the doc page :
https://ccp.cloudera.com/display/IMPALA10BETADOC/Managing+Impala+Processes

The statestored start command suggestion is as follows :
$ GLOG_v=1 nohup statestored -state_store_port=21500

I understand that the author wants to show that using a custom port is possible. However, newcomers generally cut-and-paste command line samples from the documentation, and hence using custom ports will make their install fail. Yes, because when you spend hours reading documentation, you don't read every single word

I'd recommend using straightforward config parameters instead, in other words, I'd replace it by
$ GLOG_v=1 nohup statestored -state_store_port=24000
