   This change makes it possible for users to choose an implementation of 
IMetaStoreClient via HiveConf, i.e. hive-site.xml.
   
   This patch is to retry merging the patch of HIVE-12679. 
   I talked with Austin, the original contributor for this issue, and he said 
it is okay to submit this patch again. 
   https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-12679
   
   ### Why are the changes needed?
   <!--
   Please clarify why the changes are needed. For instance,
     1. If you propose a new API, clarify the use case for a new API.
     2. If you fix a bug, you can clarify why it is a bug.

   Currently, in Hive the choice is hard coded to be SessionHiveMetaStoreClient 
in org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.metadata.Hive. 
   There is no other direct reference to SessionHiveMetaStoreClient other than 
the hard coded class name in Hive.java and the QL component operates only on 
the IMetaStoreClient interface so the change would be minimal and it would be 
quite similar to how an implementation of RawStore is specified and loaded in 
hive-metastore. One use case this change would serve would be one where a user 
wishes to use an implementation of this interface without the dependency on the 
Thrift server.
   
   ### Does this PR introduce _any_ user-facing change?
   <!--
   Note that it means *any* user-facing change including all aspects such as 
the documentation fix.
   If yes, please clarify the previous behavior and the change this PR proposes 
- provide the console output, description, screenshot and/or a reproducable 
example to show the behavior difference if possible.
   If possible, please also clarify if this is a user-facing change compared to 
the released Hive versions or within the unreleased branches such as master.
   If no, write 'No'.
   -->
   Yes. User will be able to specify own implementation of IMetaStoreClient. 
(e.g. IMetaStoreClient for AWS Glue Data Catalog).
   
   ### How was this patch tested?
   <!--
   If tests were added, say they were added here. Please make sure to add some 
test cases that check the changes thoroughly including negative and positive 
cases if possible.
   If it was tested in a way different from regular unit tests, please clarify 
how you tested step by step, ideally copy and paste-able, so that other 
reviewers can test and check, and descendants can verify in the future.
   If tests were not added, please describe why they were not added and/or why 
it was difficult to add.
   -->
   
   Unit test and integration test with Glue Data Catalog client.
