Review request for hive and Carl Steinbach.


Changes
-------

This revision to the original patch addresses almost all of the review comments 
from revision # 5. Additionally the following changes have been made to the 
-updateLocation option,

* A new option -dryRun has been added. When run with the -dryRun option 
persistent changes are not made. Instead the current location and the proposed 
new location are printed to stdout.
* Both new-loc and old-loc have to be valid URIs. This validation is performed 
in the code and an error is raised if either the new-loc or the old-loc is not 
a valid URI. Please note that both the host name and scheme fields of the URI 
are required, while the port is optional. However, if the old-loc contains a 
port, the new-loc should specify a port too. The motivation behind making the 
scheme a required field is to prevent an inadvertent update of the location 
field when the schemes doesn't match. Please note that the primary motivation 
for this tool at this point is to update the location field to ensure Hive 
survives a non-HA to HA upgrade and vice versa.
* The test case has been fixed to remove hard coded paths in the locationURI 
field of MDatabase. 

Additionally the updateLocation option of the metatool has been manually tested 
on a real cluster. All of the locations in the metastore correctly point to the 
HDFS NN and running metatool -updateLocation <new-nn-loc> <old-nn-loc> 
correctly updates the location of all relevant records to point to the new HA 
NN.


Description
-------

This patch implement hive metatool which,

* lets admins perform a HA upgrade by patching the location of the NN in Hive's 
metastore
* allows JDOQL to be executed against the metastore.


This addresses bug HIVE-3056.
