Description

Since Hive 0.8.0, the hive-default.xml is no longer bundled in the Hive JARs, which means that if the user doesn't specify oozie.hive.defaults, then the hive action will throw a RuntimeException. In fact, Hive actually ignores hive-default.xml, so we should remove the related behavior/properties/requriements from the Hive action altogether.
