Description

Currently, HCat builds against hadoop_archive-0.3.1.jar which is statically included in lib directory. This is because Har did not used to be officially supported in the earlier versions of Hadoop and at the end we could not make it work with earlier versions and had to disable by default.

Hadoop 205 provides native support for HAR which is included in hadoop_tools.jar. We need to switch the build to build against this jar picked from maven.
