Description

When Hive metastore is started in a Hadoop 2.5 cluster, it fails to start with following error

14/07/31 17:45:58 [main]: ERROR metastore.HiveMetaStore: Metastore Thrift Server threw an exception...
java.lang.NoSuchFieldError: SASL_PROPS
	at org.apache.hadoop.hive.thrift.HadoopThriftAuthBridge20S.getHadoopSaslProperties(HadoopThriftAuthBridge20S.java:126)
	at org.apache.hadoop.hive.metastore.MetaStoreUtils.getMetaStoreSaslProperties(MetaStoreUtils.java:1483)
	at org.apache.hadoop.hive.metastore.HiveMetaStore.startMetaStore(HiveMetaStore.java:5225)
	at org.apache.hadoop.hive.metastore.HiveMetaStore.main(HiveMetaStore.java:5152)

Changes in HADOOP-10451 to remove SaslRpcServer.SASL_PROPS are causing this error.
