             Summary: Provide mechanism to specify thirdparty dependency as a URL
                 Key: IMPALA-6148
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IMPALA-6148
             Project: IMPALA
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Infrastructure
            Reporter: Philip Zeyliger
            Assignee: Philip Zeyliger


To be able to test Impala with different versions of Hadoop (and other dependencies), it's handy to be able to customize where our dependencies are downloaded. Today, our dependencies (native-toolchain and "Hadoop and friends") are typically downloaded from {{s3://native-toolchain/}}. I'm proposing to extend the existing scheme to be able to specify arbitrary URLs as their locations.

This is coming up in the context of testing Impala against newer versions of Hadoop, Hive, Sentry, and HBase.
