[~vgumashta] - Can I leave the default connection lifetime to 5 mins or set it
back to 0 (disable this functionality) ?

> Currently HiveMetaStoreClient (or SessionHMSC) is connected to one Metastore
> server until the connection is closed or there is a problem. I would like to
> introduce the concept of a MetaStore client socket life time. The MS client
> will reconnect if the socket lifetime is reached. This will help during
> rolling upgrade of Metastore.
> When there are multiple Metastore servers behind a VIP (load balancer), it is
> easy to take one server out of rotation and wait for 10+ mins for all
> existing connections will die down (if the lifetime is 5mins say) and the
> server can be updated.
