Creating a UDF from a shared library with a .ll extension crashes Impala

create function foo (string, string) returns string location '/test-warehouse/thisIsReallyASharedObject.ll' symbol='MyAwesomeUdf';

A create function statement like the one above can crash Impala if the file is actually an ELF shared object.

I encountered this on a cluster I have access to. I haven't confirmed whether any .so can crash Impala or whether it requires a .so with specific characteristics.
