Description

With HiveServer2 we can fetch the queryset only from an API, not by accessing the mapreduce output files directly (the ResultSet Metadata Resp just contains columns and types of the result set, no HDFS path).

It would be great to have a direct access to the HDFS path of the query result that way we could export the data manually with just a move.

If for whatever reason there is no path, the property would just be empty and we would fallback to the API.
