    Fix for a potential stack memory corruption.{TRAFODION-2495]

    The lobHdfsServer was being overwritten by some code right below the line 
that read the default value and caused problems trying to make an HDFS 
connection.

> In some cases a memory overwrite of the following local variable would cause 
> a bad value for hdfsServer to be passed into the LOB interface causing an 
> Hdfs error. This was seen intermittently and not always reproducible. The 
> code clearly did assume that memory it hadn't allocated would nto be reused 
> and that's dangerous. lobHdfsServer needs it's own memory allocated on the 
> stack or a heap. If not the ComString newSchName could potentially overwrite  
> the memory returned by the call to 
> CmpCommon::getDefaultString(LOB_HDFS_SERVER) before gttting passed to the LOB 
> interface.
