Description

As part of making the metastore a separately releasable module we need configuration tools that are specific to that module. It cannot use or extend HiveConf as that is in hive common. But it must take a HiveConf object and be able to operate on it.

The best way to achieve this is using Hadoop's Configuration object (which HiveConf extends) together with enums and static methods.
