Description

Hive metastore client can't guarantee the proper work with other versions of Hive. So it should be exactly the same version of Hive metastore client and server.

In Spark the user can specify the path, where hive-metastore jar is placed. For example, if spark works with Hive2.1.1 version, it is necessary to put the path to hive-metastore-2.1.1.jar for the property spark.sql.hive.metastore.jars

The similar way should be implemented in Drill.
