R-Impala connect prompts FALSE Error: null

[HOHOOO]

Trying to connect R with Impala through Rimpala package, not sure what am I doing wrong here.

In short, got installed:

JDK of compatible version,
native JBDC .jar files placed to java's CLASSPATH
Impala is up and running,
First command went well:
rimpala.init(impala_home=NULL,libs="/path/...") - "Classpath added succesfully"
however connection fails at the second step:

rimpala.connect(IP="localhost",port="21050")
[1] FALSE
Error: null
Many thanks

Hello, I'm having the same problem. Have you been able to solve this issue?

finally, I use this:
library(RJDBC)
drv <- JDBC(driverClass = "org.apache.hive.jdbc.HiveDriver",classPath = list.files("/home/drivers/impala-jdbc-0.5-2",pattern="jar$",full.names=T,recursive=T),identifier.quote="`")
conn <- dbConnect(drv, "jdbc:hive2://localhost:21050/;auth=noSasl")
month.data <- dbGetQuery(conn, "select * from brand_model_sum order by how_many limit 5")
dbDisconnect(conn)
you can try it for yourself.
