Description

When HS2 is down and a query is run, the following error is shown in beeline:

0: jdbc:hive2://localhost:10000> show tables;
Error: org.apache.thrift.transport.TTransportException (state=08S01,code=0)

It may be more helpful to also indicate that the reason for this is that HS2 is down, such as:

0: jdbc:hive2://localhost:10000> show tables;
HS2 may be unavailable, check server status
