Description

We should enhance the HMS plugin to check if synchronization is enabled on the Kudu cluster backing the table. This can simplify enabling HMS synchronization because the plugin
jar can be added to the HMS classpath unconditionally.

It also helps support cases where multiple Kudu clusters use the same HMS and one is synchronized and the other isn’t.
