bharath v updated IMPALA-7961:
------------------------------
    Description: 
When catalog server is under heavy load with concurrent updates to objects, 
queries with SYNC_DDL can fail with the following message.

*User facing error message:*
{noformat}
ERROR: CatalogException: Couldn't retrieve the catalog topic version for the 
SYNC_DDL operation after 3 attempts.The operation has been successfully 
executed but its effects may have not been broadcast to all the coordinators.

*Exception from the catalog server log:*

*What this means*

The Catalog operation is actually successful (the change has been committed to 
HMS and Catalog server cache) but the Catalog server noticed that it is taking 
longer than expected time for it to broadcast the changes (for whatever reason) 
and instead of hanging in there, it fails fast. The coordinators are expected 
to eventually sync up in the background.

*Problem*
 - This violates the contract of the SYNC_DDL query option since the query 
returns early.
 - This is a behavioral regression from pre IMPALA-5058 state where the queries 
would wait forever for SYNC_DDL based changes to propagate.

*Notes*
 - Introduced by IMPALA-5058
 - Based on the occurrences of this issue, we narrowed it down to a specific 
kind of DDLs (see Jira comments).
 - My understanding is that this also applies to the Catalog V2 (or 
LocalCatalog mode) since we still rely on the CatalogServer for DDL 
orchestration and hence it takes this codepath.

 - Usual suspect here is heavily concurrent catalog operations with long 
running DDLs.

orchestration and hence it takes this codepath.

Please refer to the jira comment for technical explanation as to why this is 
happening (to be updated).
