Description

Some of the tests in TestHCatClient.java, for ex:

org.apache.hive.hcatalog.api.TestHCatClient.testPartitionRegistrationWithCustomSchema (batchId=177)
org.apache.hive.hcatalog.api.TestHCatClient.testPartitionSpecRegistrationWithCustomSchema (batchId=177)
org.apache.hive.hcatalog.api.TestHCatClient.testTableSchemaPropagation (batchId=177)

are failing due to HIVE-16844. HIVE-16844 fixes a connection leak when a new configuration object is set on the ObjectStore. TestHCatClient fires up a second instance of metastore thread with a different conf object that results in the PersistenceMangaerFactory closure and hence tests fail.
