Description

TestMetastoreVersion#testDefaults sometimes fails with:

junit.framework.AssertionFailedError: null
	at junit.framework.Assert.fail(Assert.java:48)
	at junit.framework.Assert.assertTrue(Assert.java:20)
	at junit.framework.Assert.assertFalse(Assert.java:34)
	at junit.framework.Assert.assertFalse(Assert.java:41)
	at org.apache.hadoop.hive.metastore.TestMetastoreVersion.testDefaults(TestMetastoreVersion.java:73)

This also looks like it is because of random test order. My hypothesis is that other tests set the System property "hive.metastore.schema.verification.", then if testDefaults doesnt run first, it will pick that up and assertion fails.
