Unknown Exception : 'ascii' codec can't encode characters in position: ordinal not in range
官方issue https://issues.cloudera.org/browse/IMPALA-607
解决：
vim /usr/lib/impala-shell/impala_shell.py
def do_select(self, args):
    """Executes a SELECT... query, fetching all rows"""
    return self.__execute_query(self.__create_beeswax_query("select %s" % args))
修改成：
def do_select(self, args):
    """Executes a SELECT... query, fetching all rows"""
    return self.__execute_query(self.__create_beeswax_query("select %s" %(args.encode('utf-8'),)))
修改后：
[cslave1:21000] > select count(1) from s_trade where receiver_name = '李丹';
Query: select count(1) from s_trade where receiver_name = '李丹'
