Description

We create a minimal-impala-hive-exec.jar based on Hive's hive-exec.jar:
https://github.com/apache/impala/blob/master/java/shaded-deps/hive-exec/pom.xml#L34

This excludes lots of class files, including org/apache/hive/common/package-info.class that is used by HiveVersionAnnotation and HiveVersionInfo classes.

Because of this HiveVersionInfo returns "Unknown" version resulting in failing Iceberg operations, e.g.:
https://github.com/apache/iceberg/blob/2535c3a8b18910a926df45d267271aecd83317b3/hive-metastore/src/main/java/org/apache/iceberg/hive/MetastoreLock.java#L364
