Description

Currently the --hiveconf arguments get added to the System properties. While this allows official HiveConf variables to be set in the conf that is loaded by the HiveStrictManagedMigration utility, there are utility-specific configuration settings which we would want to be set from the command line. For example since Ambari knows what the Hive system user name is it would make sense to be able to set strict.managed.tables.migration.owner on the command line when running this utility.
