HIVE-20346



When we upgrade hive from a low version(1.1.0) to higher version(2.3.3),  we 
will have to:

backup the old hive metastore database

Use schema tool to upgrade the hive metastore database schema.

Then several days after the upgrading, new version hive have some critical 
problems and we want to revert to previous hive, what could we do? Since during 
these days the data in hive metastore has changed. So, if we directly switch to 
the old hive metastore, any metadata changes after the upgrading will lose.

So , I think we need a rollback script, which is used to downgrade our high 
version metastore schema to low version schema.
