Description

Currently both HiveServer2 and old Thrift HiveServer are part of same jar, for both service and JDBC client. The old HiveServer, especially on the client side has many dependencies that are not required for HiveServer2. It would be a good idea to separate out these two components.

In the last Hive contributor meetup (http://www.meetup.com/Hive-Contributors-Group/events/150001922/), there was a general consensus on deprecating old HiveServer. The code separation would help if/when community decides to stop supporting it.
