    Attachment: HIVE-9049.1.patch

Uploading initial patch to trigger HIVE QA. 
I am not really sure if we need strict read/write flags of TBinaryProtocol for version matching. [~ashutoshc] Can you plz take a look at this small patch?

> Hive metastore server/client uses TBinaryProtocol. Although binary protocol is better than simple text/json protocol it is not as effective as TCompactProtocol. TCompactProtocol is typically more efficient in terms of space and processing (CPU). As seen from this benchmark TCompactProtocol is better in almost all aspect when compared to TBinaryProtocol
