----------------------------------

Test org.apache.hadoop.hive.cli.TestMiniLlapLocalCliDriver.testCliDriver[columnstats_part_coltype] succeeded in my local build.
All these test failures are not related to my patch.

> Not nullify variable {{rj}} to avoid NPE due to race condition in ExecDriver. currently  {{rj}} is set to null in ExecDriver.shutdown which is called from other thread for query cancellation. It can happen at any time. There is a potential race condition,  the rj is still accessed after shutdown is called. For example: if the following code is executed right after ExecDriver.shutdown is called.
> {code}
>       this.jobID = rj.getJobID();
>       updateStatusInQueryDisplay();
>       returnVal = jobExecHelper.progress(rj, jc, ctx);
> {code}
> Currently the purpose of nullifying  rj is mainly to make sure {{rj.killJob()}} is only called once.
> I will add a flag jobKilled to make sure {{rj.killJob()}} will be only called once.
