> Currently, when the catalog server is down, catalog clients will fail all
> RPCs sent to it. In essence, DDL queries will fail and the Impala service
> becomes a lot less functional. Catalog clients should consider retrying
> failed RPCs with some exponential backoff in between while catalog server is
> being restarted after crashing. We probably need to add [a test
> |https://github.com/apache/impala/blob/master/tests/custom_cluster/test_restart_services.py]
> to exercise the paths of catalog restart to verify coordinators are
> resilient to it.
