Description

To make a connection to HiverServer2, currently Beeline constructs a long url that contains hiveconf and hivevariables. At JDBC driver side, it parses the url into individual maps. Constructing and decomposing the url is complicated and unnecessary, using a different method from JDBC DriverManager that takes a property map makes the logic simpler, especially when hiveconf and hivevar variables can also come from Beeline command line in addition to those in connection url.

This is identified in and required by HIVE-6173.
