Description

Deprecate the method stringifyException

https://github.com/apache/hive/blob/c2940a07cf0891e922672782b73ec22551a7eedd/common/src/java/org/apache/hive/common/util/HiveStringUtils.java#L146

The code already exists in Hadoop proper:

https://github.com/apache/hadoop/blob/2b2399d623539ab68e71a38fa9fbfc9a405bddb8/hadoop-common-project/hadoop-common/src/main/java/org/apache/hadoop/util/StringUtils.java#L86

And beyond that, I was told on the Hadoop dev mailing list that this function should not be used anymore. Developers should just be using the SLF4J facilities and not this home-grown thing.
