I'm voting to close this question as off-topic because it's asking for a tutorial about cloud computing resources, not a specific programming question – OneCricketeer Apr 05 '18 at 12:00

FWIW, the amount of resources you get as part of the free tier are not worth running Hadoop or Impala – OneCricketeer Apr 05 '18 at 12:03

Impala is not available as a standard option in Amazon EMR.
You would probably need to launch your own Hadoop cluster on Amazon EC2 instances.
However, the AWS Free Usage Tier only provides micro-sized EC2 instances, which are not appropriate for a Hadoop cluster.
