Odd indeed. But also kind of fun.

It really would be better to spell it explicitly (and avoid a phrase Cloudera's Hadoop distribution -- since this is something ASF is not looking too kindly on as per http://www.apache.org/foundation/marks/) I'd suggest something along the lines: "Documentation for previous versions of Impala in CDH" > As far as the docs saying "Apache Impala (incubating)", I have cc:ed David > Middler, a lawyer for Cloudera.

The confusion was due to the context -- that link pretending to be an official Apache Impala (incubating) documentation. I think with the clarification we're talking above -- your doc usage is fine now. > 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. Indeed! Still, perhaps you can take one extra suggestions I've articulated above. Thanks, Roman.
