Roman, thank you for taking the time to write to us. Oddly, just as you were sending this, I was resolving
https://issues.cloudera.org/browse/IMPALA-4068 with this commit https://github.com/apache/incubator-impala/commit/90ffefd1140e3fcfbbdc26496a7e177eb752ae1c It removes the links to download, install, try as VM, try as Docker, and try in cloud. We have started migrating our docs to ASF, though John and Laurel (cced) have not finished yet. Their organizing JIRA is here: https://issues.cloudera.org/browse/IMPALA-3398 In the meantime, the commit above changed the docs link to be a page about available documentation. This page includes a link to the Cloudera docs, but it calls them out as such. Does that meet the guidelines, in your opinion? The guidelines do allow "links to external documentation". As far as the docs saying "Apache Impala (incubating)", I have cc:ed David Middler, a lawyer for Cloudera. I am not a lawyer and I do not quite understand what words one should use to refer to this Impala thing between the TM transfer and the first release - "Cloudera Impala"? just "Impala"? The patch I linked to above also changes the github link to point to the Apache github repo for Impala. I think that touches on each of the issues you raised.
