I agree that projects like the HBase handler and probably others as well
should somehow be "downstream" projects which simply depend on the hive
jars.  I see a couple alternatives for this:

* Take the "module" in question to the Apache Incubator
* Move the "module" in question to the Apache Extras
* Breakup the projects within our own source tree

I'd prefer the third option at this point.
