IMPALA-10012: ds_hll_sketch() results ascii codec decoding error fix

While the ds_hll_sketch() generates a string value as output the data
is not an ascii encoded text but a bitsketch, because of this, when
the shell get this data it disconnect while it tries to decode it.

The issue can be reproduced with a simple method like using unhex
with a wrong input.
Example: SELECT unhex("aa");

This patch contains a solution, where we replace any not UTF-8
decodable characters if we run into an UnicodeDecodeError after
fetching it.

This solution is working with the Thrift 0.9.3 autogenerated gen-py
but still fails with Thrift 0.11.0.

For Thrift 0.11.0 the error is catched and an error message is sent
(not working with beeswax protocol, because it generates a different
error (TypeError) which can come for other reasons too).

Testing:
-manual testing with these protocols: 'hs2-http', 'hs2', 'beeswax'

Welcome to Impala

Lightning-fast, distributed SQL queries for petabytes of data stored in Apache Hadoop clusters.

Impala is a modern, massively-distributed, massively-parallel, C++ query engine that lets you analyze, transform and combine data from a variety of data sources:

  • Best of breed performance and scalability.
  • Support for data stored in HDFS, Apache HBase, Apache Kudu, Amazon S3, Azure Data Lake Storage, Apache Hadoop Ozone and more!
  • Wide analytic SQL support, including window functions and subqueries.
  • On-the-fly code generation using LLVM to generate lightning-fast code tailored specifically to each individual query.
  • Support for the most commonly-used Hadoop file formats, including Apache Parquet and Apache ORC.
  • Support for industry-standard security protocols, including Kerberos, LDAP and TLS.
  • Apache-licensed, 100% open source.
