Impala supports proxy user via HS2: https://github.com/apache/impala/blob/master/be/src/service/impala-hs2-server.cc#L321. If you use any HS2 client, you should be able to set the proxy user. Unfortunately, Impala shell still uses Beeswax, which has no support for proxy user. There's a JIRA to migrate Impala shell to HS2: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IMPALA-7290.
