https://github.com/cloudera/Impala/blob/cdh5-trunk/fe/src/main/java/org/apache/impala/catalog/TableLoader.java#L69 might be coming from this. My guess is we need a fix to https://github.com/cloudera/Impala/blob/cdh5-trunk/fe/src/main/java/org/apache/impala/catalog/HdfsTable.java

As far as I see, the input format is instantiated there.. so,there is hope. but needs some work. I have 0 exp with impala

Hello, is there any plan to add Impala support in the future? I am happy to look into it. I am pretty new to impala as well.

@garyli1019 yes love to support it. If you can drive it, that'd be awesome. It seemed doable back when I checked it out. We can create a HUDI jira on this. Please join the mailing list if interested and give us your jira id. I can add you into contributors group.
