I am trying to setup Impala (4.2) cluster with its dependencies installed separately from released versions of zookeeper, Hadoop, HBase & Hive as against using from the pre-packaged one with impala.
Have installed and configured Hive 3.1.1 and able to login to hive shell. While starting impala node with this external hive version it fails with mr execution engine start failed. (have set mr as engine). Is there a way to disable the hive execution engine completely as I understand the Impala needs only hive metastore and not its execution engine. To only run the hiveserver and metastore server without the execution engine (or gateway) Thanks in advance, JAK
