PS2, Line 1123:     // The reset operation itself should bump the catalog 
version.
The important "why" part is missing from the comment. My understanding is that 
impalad catalogs become ready once the version is > 0, so we need to bump this 
version to ensure that impalads become ready even if the catalog is empty. 
Correct?

PS2, Line 213:     if (newCatalogVersion > INITIAL_CATALOG_VERSION) {
This is subtle and needs an explanation. How can we get an update with 
INITIAL_CATALOG_VERSION?

>From looking at CatalogServer::Start(), we see this sequence:
* JniCatalog is created which creates a CatalogServiceCatalog and calls reset() 
on that catalog. At this point the catalog is populated and should have a 
version > 0.
* After that first step, the catalog server registers with the statestore and 
starts processing catalog topic updates.

So how can an impalad ever see an update with a version of 0?

PS2, Line 214:       isReady_.set(true);
Do we still need this flag? It seems to be implied by version > 0.
