    @liancheng This is to port HIVE-7620 into spark to solve hadoop 
incompatibility issue.  It will replace the getHadoopSaslProperties in 
org.apache.hadoop.hive.thrift.HadoopThriftAuthBridge20S if necessary by 
checking the hadoop version.
    
    https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-7620
    
    I agree the code may not be fitting into the overall code base. But it is 
broken in hive-0.13 connecting to secure cluster hadoop-2.5 and beyond due to 
this issue. If hive-0.14 will be supported soon, this patch may not be critical.
    
    By the way, hadoop-2.6 and beyond is becoming main stream in my point of 
view.
