>                 Key: IMPALA-3013
>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IMPALA-3013
>             Project: IMPALA
>          Issue Type: Improvement
>          Components: Security
>    Affects Versions: Impala 2.2.4
>            Reporter: John Russell
>            Priority: Minor
>
> If you run impala-shell -k on a system without the required Kerberos client, you get a message like so:
> {code}
> impala-shell -k -i blah-kerberized.example.com
> Starting Impala Shell using Kerberos authentication
> Using service name 'impala'
> klist not found on the system, install kerberos clients
> {code}
> Because the 'klist not found' message comes after a couple of startup/progress messages from the shell, I thought it connected but then didn't find the right Kerberos infrastructure on the impalad host. It's actually complaining about software missing on the local system where impala-shell is running. Could you add a %s into the 'klist not found' message to echo the hostname, to clarify where exactly the Kerberos client needs to be installed?
