Andrew Charneski updated RANGER-2689:
-------------------------------------
    Description: 
Currently Ranger supports the latest version of Hive, 3.1.2. Unfortunately, 
there are large segments of the big data community that relies on older 
versions of Hive. Two major examples:

# Spark SQL uses a forked version of Hive 1.2.1 
(https://spark.apache.org/docs/latest/sql-migration-guide-hive-compatibility.html)
# EMR provides Hive only up to 2.3.5 
(https://docs.aws.amazon.com/emr/latest/ReleaseGuide/Hive-release-history.html)

In order to support these internally, my organization has prepared two 
modifications of Ranger to link against these versions. These are illustrated 
in the PRs https://github.com/acharneski/ranger/pull/4 and 
https://github.com/acharneski/ranger/pull/5

We would like to eliminate the need for entirely separate builds of Ranger to 
support this, and integrate these variants into the main Ranger codebase. We 
are willing to do the bulk of the implementation but would first like to 
discuss the architecture of this change so as to build it in a way the Ranger 
committers would be amenable to adopting. 

My initial thought is to split the `hive-agent` module into something like 
`hive-agent-base`, `hive-agent-1`, `hive-agent-2`, and `hive-agent-3`. This 
would allow us to explicitly link to each major version of Hive while 
minimizing the duplication of code. Thoughts? 

Thank you!
