I think you can do something like this. I don't have impala-shell, so
I wasn't able to test this. It worked using another executable though.
This is pretty bare bones, no sessions, etc.
(require 'org)
(require 'ob)
(defun org-babel-execute:impala (body params)
(let* ((code (org-babel-expand-body:generic body params))
(src-dir (make-temp-file "ob-impala-" t))
(src-file (f-join src-dir (concat (file-name-nondirectory src-dir)
".imp"))))
(with-temp-file src-file
(insert code))
;; Compile step
(org-babel-eval
(format "impala-shell %s" src-file)
"")))
;;;###autoload
(eval-after-load 'org
'(add-to-list 'org-src-lang-modes '("impala" . impala)))
(add-to-list 'org-src-lang-modes '("impala" . sql))
