Review comment:
       hm. Actually, this feature is not relevant to users using pre-built 
spark (w/ `-Phive` enabled)? IIUC there is no way to use this feature when 
enabling `-Phive`. I'm not sure about how important this feature is, but I 
think we need to document it somewhere if we will merge it.
