@liancheng the MANIFEST.MF is not copied from any particular place, but is
merged from all dependency manifests. This is good for libraries that need some
custom property to be preserved, although I'm not aware of a particular example
of that.
The problem is that common properties like this collide and we end up with
some arbitrary value from an arbitrary dependency. The manifest is still
'proper' but some values aren't helpful. Yes they should be blanked out or set
to something Spark-specific.
The Maven build can easily discard all of these values like SBT. I'm not
suggesting no MANIFEST.MF.
But, I still don't see how this can help Beeline. This PR sets values that
are definitely wrong for it.
