Upgrading from impyla 0.9.1 --> 0.11.1 causes crash

[natekupp]

We have a previously working installation of impyla that we tried to upgrade, and now crashes. This is on Debian 7.8 (wheezy).

We're using LDAP auth + SSL, and I believe all of the necessary SASL/LDAP dependencies are installed on the system (given that 0.9.1 worked fine). I assume this is likely related to issue #93?

We're using the following to connect:

from impala.dbapi import connect
conn = connect(host='...', port=21050, auth_mechanism="LDAP", user = '...', password = '...', use_ssl=True)

This throws the following exception:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

     74     # Send initial response

Thoughts?

auth_mechanism="PLAIN" seems to work...

Ah, got it. Thanks, closing.

Sorry about that. There should be a better error message. I'll file an issue to improve it.
