Add TCP keepalive option for the metastore server
-------------------------------------------------

                 Key: HIVE-1410
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-1410
             Project: Hadoop Hive
          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components: Metastore
    Affects Versions: 0.6.0
            Reporter: Paul Yang
            Assignee: Paul Yang


In production, we have noticed that the metastore server tends to accumulate 
half-open TCP connections when it has been running for a long time. By 
half-open, I am referring to idle connections where there is an established TCP 
connection on the metastore server machine, but no corresponding connection on 
the client machine. This could be the result of network disconnects or crashed 
clients.

This patch will add an option to turn on TCP keepalive so that these half-open 
connections will get cleaned up.
