Description

We should update the Hive action to support Hive Server 2 (Beeline); we'll also need to add a new Credentials implementation to get the delegation token (unlike the Hive Metastore, the existing HCatCredentials cannot be reused for Hive Server 2 because of the JDBC connection). We may need to bump up the Hive version to support this.

We should create a "Hive Server 2 action" that uses Beeline to connect to Hive Server 2. We'll also need to add a new Credentials implementation to get the delegation token (unlike the Hive Metastore, the existing HCatCredentials cannot be reused for Hive Server 2 because of the JDBC connection).

This will definitely work with Hive 0.13 (which hasn't been released) but may also work with Hive 0.12, though probably not with Kerberos. I believe the delegation token work required isn't in Hive 0.12.
