----------------------------------------------------------------
Table property "dbcp.password" is jdbc password in clear text. This parameter
is strongly discouraged. The recommended way is to store the password in a Java
keystore file. See the section “securing password” in
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/Hive/JDBC+Storage+Handler#JDBCStorageHandler-SecuringPassword.
We need to protect the keystore file by only authorize targeted user to read
this file using authorizer (such as Ranger). Impala will check the permission
of the keystore file to make sure user has read permission of it.
