Description

TestHadoop20SAuthBridge tests testSaslWithHiveMetaStore and testMetastoreProxyUser sometimes fail. I have seen this more often on mac and windows, but this can happen on linux as well.

The problem is that metastore is started in a different thread and these unit tests actually rely on the metastore having initialized DelegationTokenSecretManager in HadoopThriftAuthBridge20S as part of the metastore startup (HiveMetaStore.startMetaStore )
