Description

org.apache.hive.hcatalog.security.StorageDelegationAuthorizationProvider
has a block like this:

static

{ registerAuthProvider("org.apache.hadoop.hive.hbase.HBaseStorageHandler", "org.apache.hive.hcatalog.hbase.HBaseAuthorizationProvider"); registerAuthProvider("org.apache.hive.hcatalog.hbase.HBaseHCatStorageHandler", "org.apache.hive.hcatalog.hbase.HBaseAuthorizationProvider"); }

In reality, HBaseHCatStorageHandler and HBaseAuthorizationProvider only exist in org.apache.hcatalog

This should be fixed by removing org.apache.hive.hcatalog.security.StorageDelegationAuthorizationProvider. We have org.apache.hcatalog.security.StorageDelegationAuthorizationProvider which is only used by now deprecated hcatalog version of hbase storage handler.

Also,
hcatalog/src/test/e2e/hcatalog/tests/pig.conf & hadoop.conf have the same problem.
In addition, the tests affected in pig.conf/hadoop.conf should use org.apache.hcatalog.pig.HCatLoader/HCatStorer.

Finally, hadoop.conf#Hadoop_HBase is using org.apache.hive.hcatalog.utils.HBaseReadWrite which internally refers to org.apache.hive.hcatalog.* classes. The later should only use org.apache.hcatalog.* since it's using HBaseHCatStoreageHandler. Also, should move HBaseReadWrite to org.apache.hcatalog for clarity.
