             Summary: Test impala-shell distribution instead of special dev environment version
                 Key: IMPALA-8515
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IMPALA-8515
             Project: IMPALA
          Issue Type: Sub-task
          Components: Infrastructure
            Reporter: Tim Armstrong
            Assignee: Tim Armstrong


Impala shell tests use bin/impala-shell.sh, which uses impala-python and various dev-environment specific infrastructure to run impala-shell. We also build a shell tarball, which is meant to be a self-contained version of the shell with all dependencies.

In principle it's better to test the build artifacts rather than the development environment. Therefore for full builds, where we build the tarball, we should test the contents of the tarball including the bundled libraries.

For remote cluster tests, we can continue to use the dev environment (since we don't necessarily build the shell tarball there).
