Change subject: Impala and Hive have slightly different SQL they accept.
......................................................................


Patch Set 1:

The issue we (HivePMC) are trying dealing with is there are several entities 
with 
copies of Hive code, linking to Hive, or both and at the same time claiming 
'Apache Hive Compatibility'. 
As I explained 'Apache Hive Compatibility' is not a thing they can assert, 

1. Assuming you are using an unaltered Apache Hive metastore you could say. 
"Impala stores it's data in Hive Metastore."
2. Assuming you are using an unaltered apache hive server 2 you could say. " 
Impala's public facing interfaces mirror that of Hive X.Y"
3. You could say, "Impala's SQL dialect is very similar to that of Hive SQL." 
or "Many Apache Hive queries will run on Impala unaltered", 

First, use Defining Hadoop document as a guideline. Second, as a guideline, 
imagine Hive was some large commercial database 'DB2orgres 10Gee', you would be 
hard pressed to find any other entity software claiming compatibility with that 
thing.

To summarize: I appreciate your rapid response. I do realize it is a tag line 
so you want to make it 
short and to the point (while of course making Impala sound as awesome as 
possible). In any case, I do not want to tell you
what to say, use your best judgement. I hope that helps. The changes are 
appreciated.
