[jira] [Created] (IMPALA-13326) Tarball packaged impala-shell should prefer python3 to python2

Joe McDonnell created IMPALA-13326:
--------------------------------------

             Summary: Tarball packaged impala-shell should prefer python3 to python2
                 Key: IMPALA-13326
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IMPALA-13326
             Project: IMPALA
          Issue Type: Task
          Components: Clients
    Affects Versions: Impala 4.5.0
            Reporter: Joe McDonnell


The tarball distribution of impala-shell supports building against multiple versions of python. It uses the shell/impala-shell bash script to pick the appropriate python and corresponding ext-py library directory. Right now, it prefers to use the "python" executable. This could be either python2 or python3, but it frequently is python2.

Given that python2 is deprecated, I think this should switch to preferring python3.
