Description

Hive server failures are making the JDBC client get stuck in socketRead.

Users should be able to configure socket read timeout to fail fast in case of server failures.

Proposed solution

Add a Jdbc connection param 

hive.client.read.socket.timeoutmillis

This can control the socket read timeout, connect timeout in TCP as well as HTTP mode.

Let me know your thoughts.
