Bootstrapping a development environment on Ubuntu 16.04

[Jim Apple <jb...@cloudera.com>]

I am hoping to upgrade from Ubuntu 14.04 to 16.04. In order to check
that I could still do Impala development work, I bootstrapped a
development environment on a 16.04 cloud instance. The script that
worked for me is here:

https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/IMPALA/Bootstrapping+an+Impala+Development+Environment+From+Scratch

While it might be useful to have this as a Jenkins job, I have no
plans to create such a job.

It might be a bit cleaner to get this done in the chef repo in
https://github.com/awleblang/impala-setup, but I don't plan to do that
at this time.

FWIW, I've tried 16.04 XFCE / Ubuntu studio variants on two different HW
machines now, was able to build impala on one and load data, but both
machines flaked out with weird graphics related failures after kernel
upgrades resulting in a black screen on boot.  I was able to debug one of
them enough to get it running again and also enough to know I didn't want
to repeat the procedure, so I upgraded to 17.04 and have a somewhat working
system, but I'd recommend avoiding any customization of packages and
installs unless you enjoy headless debugging, and I'd recommend avoiding
17.04 entirely if you want a stable supported base.

I was able to run all the data loading and all of the core tests. One
Kudu test flaked a couple of times on a timeout error.

Did you manage to run all of the tests and data loading? I remember a while
back I was having issues with Kudu crashing - never retried to see if it
got better.
