Description

Make DB2 a first class member of JdbcStorageHandler. It can even work before the patch by using POSTGRES as DB type and add db2 jdbc jar manually. This patch make it a standard feature. Note this is only for DB2 tables as external JdbcStorageHandler table. We haven't tested DB2 as a metastore backend and it's not a goal for this ticket.
