Description

Currently, most jars in hive/build/dist/lib and the hadoop-*-core.jar are required in the classpath to run jdbc applications on hive. We need to do atleast the following to get rid of most unnecessary dependencies:
1. get rid of dynamic serde and use a standard serialization format, maybe tab separated, json or avro
2. dont use hadoop configuration parameters
3. repackage thrift and fb303 classes into hive_jdbc.jar
