> It would be nice to have a builtin function that would return the Hive
> version. This would make it easier for a users and tests to programmatically
> check the Hive version in a SQL script. It's also useful so a client can
> check the Hive version on a remote cluster.
> For example:
> {code}
> beeline> SELECT version();
> 2.1.0-SNAPSHOT from 208ab352311a6cbbcd1f7fcd40964da2dbc6703d by lskuff source
> checksum 8e971cda755f6b3fb528c233c40eb50a
> {code}
