Thanks for volunteering, Peter! Yeah, it's about time to release all the good stuff the community has worked on.
I'm planning to take a look if I can quickly add an initial, experimental support for Iceberg REST catalogs: IMPALA-13586 <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IMPALA-13586>. This should enable lightweight Impala deployments, where you wouldn't need CatalogD, nor HMS. But if it will require too much time then It's OK to move forward with the release.
