Creating a `HiveContext` without a `hive-site.xml` will also work, and will
put the warehouse/metastore_db in the same place as Hive/Shark would. This is
why we deprecated the `LocalHiveContext`.
Also for testing I would consider using `TestHive` (which is a mostly
stable developer api) as it creates a fresh metastore each time it is started.
