As far as artifact publication, Apache Impala (incubating) does not publish binary artifacts at this time. Nonetheless, I will forward your message to some people at Cloudera who might be interested, since Cloudera does publish binaries. > Apache Hive proposes and adds syntax all the time.

Funny you should mention that feature -- I actually implemented that for Impala: https://github.com/apache/incubator-impala/commit/1a3d7ffd4fd392b3ed831dfc7a3bfcfdb8cb8bbd#diff-a7c8505823aef79d508ede7e4d4e464a As you say, though, our syntax is unlikely to be identical. I've sent a patch for review that will change our webpage: http://gerrit.cloudera.org:8080/6567
