After this was the usual metastore tables not found errors that you get if you have an empty DB. I tried the flag --use_local_catalog=false, even though it's the default. Setting up a metastore with a proper hive-site.xml will get impalad running but weird errors ensue on create table, as you would expect. I'm doing a straightforward build and deploy, never seen anything like this before 3.3.
