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.

Impala is an open-source add-on to the Cloudera Enterprise Core that returns rapid responses to

<title>What is Included in an Impala Installation</title>
<conbody>
<p>
Impala is made up of a set of components that can be installed on multiple nodes throughout your cluster.
The key installation step for performance is to install the <cmdname>impalad</cmdname> daemon (which does
most of the query processing work) on <i>all</i> DataNodes in the cluster.
</p>
<p>
The Impala package installs these binaries:
</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p>
<cmdname>impalad</cmdname> - The Impala daemon. Plans and executes queries against HDFS, HBase, <ph rev="2.2.0">and Amazon S3 data</ph>.
<xref href="impala_processes.xml#processes">Run one impalad process</xref> on each node in the cluster
that has a DataNode.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
<cmdname>statestored</cmdname> - Name service that tracks location and status of all
<codeph>impalad</codeph> instances in the cluster. <xref href="impala_processes.xml#processes">Run one
instance of this daemon</xref> on a node in your cluster. Most production deployments run this daemon
on the namenode.
</p>
</li>
<li rev="1.2">
<p>
<cmdname>catalogd</cmdname> - Metadata coordination service that broadcasts changes from Impala DDL and
DML statements to all affected Impala nodes, so that new tables, newly loaded data, and so on are
immediately visible to queries submitted through any Impala node.
<!-- Consider removing this when 1.2 gets far in the past. -->
(Prior to Impala 1.2, you had to run the <codeph>REFRESH</codeph> or <codeph>INVALIDATE
METADATA</codeph> statement on each node to synchronize changed metadata. Now those statements are only
required if you perform the DDL or DML through an external mechanism such as Hive <ph rev="2.2.0">or by uploading
data to the Amazon S3 filesystem</ph>.)
<xref href="impala_processes.xml#processes">Run one instance of this daemon</xref> on a node in your cluster,
preferably on the same host as the <codeph>statestored</codeph> daemon.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
<cmdname>impala-shell</cmdname> - <xref href="impala_impala_shell.xml#impala_shell">Command-line
interface</xref> for issuing queries to the Impala daemon. You install this on one or more hosts
anywhere on your network, not necessarily DataNodes or even within the same cluster as Impala. It can
connect remotely to any instance of the Impala daemon.
</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p>
Before doing the installation, ensure that you have all necessary prerequisites. See
<xref href="impala_prereqs.xml#prereqs"/> for details.
