> HADOOP-10607 provides a Configuration.getPassword() API that allows passwords to be retrieved from a configured credential provider, while also being able to fall back to the HiveConf setting if no provider is set up.  Hive should use this API for versions of Hadoop that support this API. This would give users the ability to remove the passwords from their Hive configuration files.
