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">NUM_NODES query option</indexterm>
Limit the number of nodes that process a query, typically during debugging.
</p>
<p>
<b>Type:</b> numeric
</p>
<p>
<b>Allowed values:</b> Only accepts the values 0
(meaning all nodes) or 1 (meaning all work is done on the coordinator node).
</p>
<p>
<b>Default:</b> 0

<p>
If you are diagnosing a problem that you suspect is due to a timing issue due to
distributed query processing, you can set <codeph>NUM_NODES=1</codeph> to verify
if the problem still occurs when all the work is done on a single node.

<note type="warning" rev="DOCS-1161">
<p>
Because this option results in increased resource utilization on a single host,
it could cause problems due to contention with other Impala statements or
high resource usage. Symptoms could include queries running slowly, exceeding the memory limit,
or appearing to hang. Use it only in a single-user development/test environment;
<b>do not</b> use it in a production environment or in a cluster with a high-concurrency
or high-volume or performance-critical workload.
