Review comment:
this is strange - during fetch task conversion we should have access to
the sessionstate; and when we are running it on the cluster
mapredcontext/tezcontext should be available.
There is one thing which might have came up in the failures: when we run
HS2/clidriver we *always* have a session state when we run queries; because of
this nature I think it makes sense to rely on this mechanism instead of working
around stuff here and there - however some test(s) may have "forgot" to start
the session (`SessionState.start`) - which could cause an NPE ; I think this
might be happening in `TestVectorizationContext`
but...there is also some stuff inside the metastore which can't have a
session - so you might need to handle the null case as well...
