Description

I am trying hardly to set the ImpalaDriver supplied by cloudera. The last one which is version 2.6.3.1004

It comes with uber-jar which makes the need to put all the dependant jars, redundant.

I can easily write a java program which use the jdbc is standard way.

However, all my effort to use the impala-jdbc within zeppelin are totally failing, It doesn't even fail with any specific error, but just stuck.

I tried using the logging capability of the driver, and it seems that for some reason the interpreter tries to describe all the catalog of the impala, totally disregarding the database name. It seems like it tries to do all for the whole databases and the whole tables, something which will probably never finish. no idea what it tries to do, or why is it stuck.

Is there anyway to solve this issue ?
