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

Updated based on [~szehon]'s feedback. Now returns a shorted build info (version + githash). I do think including the githash is valuable. One of the use cases for this is to understand exactly what bits are deployed someplace, so it's useful to have the githash.

> It would be nice to have a builtin function that would return the Hive version.  This would make it easier for a users and tests to programmatically check the Hive version in a SQL script. It's also useful so a client can check the Hive version on a remote cluster.
> For example:
> {code}
> beeline> SELECT version();
> 2.1.0-SNAPSHOT r208ab352311a6cbbcd1f7fcd40964da2dbc6703d
> {code}
