Description

Currently Hive's "add jar" command takes a local path to the dependency jar. This clutters the local file-system as users may forget to remove this jar later
It would be nice if Hive supported a Gradle like notation to download the jar from a repository.

Example: add jar org:module:version

It should also be backward compatible and should take jar from the local file-system as well.
