Thanks working on this and contributing to hive [~osayankin] !

I have one concern with this patch, it does not seem like it would work with kerberos mode.
I think the feature ought to work consistently across all authentication modes.

Also note that we already have a 'select username()' feature available via HIVE-9143.

> This request has come from the customer who wanted an API / configuration parameter to identify the authenticated user from the beeline. This is similar to the request done in the thread below:
> https://community.hortonworks.com/questions/2620/hadoop-environment-variable-or-configuration-varia.html
> But this would not be a feasible option for the requestor. So here the general ask is once the user is logged in to the beeline, they wanted to identify who this user is and then use this information to  enforce the ACLs on the tables through the customer's custom code.
