Description

Currently in HiveMetaStore.java, we are getting an integer value from this property:

      int maxMessageSize = conf.getIntVar(HiveConf.ConfVars.METASTORESERVERMAXMESSAGESIZE);

While this is sufficient most of the time, there can be cases where msg size might needs to be greater than INT_MAX. We should use long instead.
