Description

This is a brainstorming JIRA. Working with HBase dependency at this point seems to be rather painful from what I hear from other folks. We could do the hive model with unified shim, built in such manner that it can work with either version, where at build time dependencies for all 2-3 versions are pulled and the appropriate one is used for tests, and when running HBase you have to point at Hadoop directory to get the dependencies. I am not very proficient at maven so not quite certain of the best solution yet.
