Not able to edit the jira to add release note. (guess I don't have permission)
Content to be added as part of release note:
{quote} Using HADOOP_PROXY_USER a superuser can access hive through hive cli on
behalf of another user.
To use this feature, export HADOOP_PROXY_USER with the user that has to be
proxied and start hive cli.
The HADOOP_PROXY_USER variable can be set as part of system environmental
variable or in system properties. {quote}
