Related Issue:
cloudera/impyla#416
Background:
In short, pip install sasl does not work well for me. So I install a wheel from
https://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/
It still won't work, so it lead me to this issue and I found a solution to it.

Solutions:
copy sasl2 to C:/CMU/bin (I am amazed that it actually works!)
I find this is weird, is it possible to be fixed during packaging? I have zero background about C, so I don't really know what's going on. Other solutions suggesting users to mess with Window Registry.
I feel this is something can be fixed. Fixing this issue would be a lot of help, since I have been struggling to find a reliable way to connect to impala in Window.
