Description: # Impala Interactive Shell
        
        You can use the Impala shell tool (impala-shell) to connect to an Impala
        service. The shell allows you to set up databases and tables, insert data,
        and issue queries. For ad hoc queries and exploration, you can submit SQL
        statements in an interactive session. The impala-shell interpreter accepts
        all the same SQL statements listed in
        [Impala SQL Statements](http://impala.apache.org/docs/build/html/topics/impala_langref_sql.html),
        plus some shell-only commands that you can use for tuning performance and
        diagnosing problems.
        
        To automate your work, you can specify command-line options to process a single
        statement or a script file. (Other avenues for Impala automation via python
        are provided by Impyla or ODBC.)
        
        ## Installing
        
        ```
        $ pip install impala-shell
        ```

        ## Quickstart
        
        ### Non-interactive mode
        
        Processing a single query, e.g., ```show tables```:
        
        ```
        $ impala-shell -i impalad-host.domain.com -d some_database -q 'show tables'
        ```
        
        Processing a text file with a series of queries:
        
        ```
        $ impala-shell -i impalad-host.domain.com -d some_database -f /path/to/queries.sql
        ```
        
        ### Launching the interactive shell
        
        To connect to an impalad host at the default service port (21000):
        
        ```
        $ impala-shell -i impalad-host.domain.com
        Starting Impala Shell without Kerberos authentication
        Connected to impalad-host.domain.com:21000
        Server version: impalad version 2.11.0-SNAPSHOT RELEASE (build d4596f9ca3ea32a8008cdc809a7ac9a3dea47962)
        ***********************************************************************************
        Welcome to the Impala shell.

        The '-B' command line flag turns off pretty-printing for query results. Use this
        flag to remove formatting from results you want to save for later, or to benchmark
        Impala.

        ```
        
        ### Launching the interactive shell (secure mode)
        
        To connect to a secure host using kerberos and SSL:
        
        ```
        $ impala-shell -k --ssl -i impalad-secure-host.domain.com
        ```
        
        ### Disconnecting
        
        To exit the shell when running interactively, press ```Ctrl-D``` at the shell prompt.
