I just built Impala 3.3 from source with Kudu 1.11. Unlike previous versions, in 3.3 impalad would not start unless installed a local hive metastore db on the impalad instance, not just the catalogd instance. I'm now getting a strange "IllegalArgumentException:null" error when creating kudu tables from impala, where the kudu table is created but impala does not create metadata. Logs show nothing but I'm guessing this has something to do with metastore integration. Can I somehow disable metastore integration from impalad?
x-posting with kudu in case there might be any insight from that side. Thanks, Cliff
