Description

Currently, the JDBC driver always use "default" as the schema/database. We should allow setting the active schema to another schema.

1. implement the setCatalog() method
2. modify HiveConnection constructor to take the schema from the URL and call setCatalog
3. change configureConnection() and execute "use <schema>;" statement

See https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-675
