Description

Update the wiki with information about metastore server security, which was added in release 0.10.0 (HIVE-3705). These wiki docs need updates:

• Hive Authorization in the Language Manual
• Configuration Properties in the Language Manual

The Admin Docs' out-of-date Configuration could also be updated with a link to the Language Manual information.
