John Russell 8377b9949c Global search/replace: audience="Cloudera" -> audience="hidden".
For this change to land in master, the audience="hidden" code review
needs to be completed first. Otherwise, the doc build would still work
but the audience="hidden" content would be visible rather than hidden as
desired.

Some work happening in parallel might introduce additional instances of
audience="Cloudera". I suggest addressing those in a followup CR so this
global change can land quickly.

Since the changes apply across so many different files, but are so
narrow in scope, I suggest that the way to validate (check that no
extraneous changes were introduced accidentally) is to diff just the
changed lines:

git diff -U0 HEAD^ HEAD

In patch set 2, I updated other topics marked audience="Cloudera"
by CRs that were pushed in the meantime.

<indexterm audience="hidden">DATE data type</indexterm>
A type representing the date (year, month, and day) as a single numeric value. Used to represent a broader
date range than possible with the <codeph>TIMESTAMP</codeph> type, with fewer distinct values than
<codeph>TIMESTAMP</codeph>, and in a more compact and efficient form than using a <codeph>STRING</codeph>
such as <codeph>'2014-12-31'</codeph>.

<li>
This type can be read from and written to Parquet files.

<li>
There is no requirement for a particular level of Parquet.
</li>
<li>
Parquet files generated by Impala and containing this type can be freely interchanged with other components
such as Hive and MapReduce.

<p conref="../shared/impala_common.xml#common/partitioning_blurb"/>
<p>
This type can be used for partition key columns. Because it has less granularity (and thus fewer distinct
values) than an equivalent <codeph>TIMESTAMP</codeph> column, and numeric columns are more efficient as
partition keys than strings, prefer to partition by a <codeph>DATE</codeph> column rather than a
<codeph>TIMESTAMP</codeph> column or a <codeph>STRING</codeph> representation of a date.
</p>
<p conref="../shared/impala_common.xml#common/compatibility_blurb"/>
<p>
This type is available on CDH 5.2 or higher.

Things happen when converting <codeph>TIMESTAMP</codeph> to <codeph>DATE</codeph> or <codeph>DATE</codeph> to

The <xref href="impala_timestamp.xml#timestamp">TIMESTAMP</xref> data type is closely related. Some functions
from <xref href="impala_datetime_functions.xml#datetime_functions"/> accept and return <codeph>DATE</codeph>
values.
