WIP: HIVE-29697: Add support for Persistable Sessions

[ayushtkn]

What changes were proposed in this pull request?

Add support for Persistable Sessions in Hive

Why are the changes needed?

In case of HS2 failures, the Session should be preserved for better HS2 HA

Does this PR introduce any user-facing change?

In case there is a HS2 crash, the other HS2 can reload the session, so session is preserved and the query retry doesn't fail with Invalid SessionHandle like

Error: Invalid SessionHandle: SessionHandle [5929b974-c356-4ebb-8ec4-e99071f6319d] (state=,code=0)

How was this patch tested?

UT, Manually for REDIS via K8s Operator
Killed the HS2 pod which had the session with

kubectl delete pod hive-hiveserver2-768f66c44d-tntnj --grace-period=0 --force

Checked running a query and if the temp table and configs set survived

Pull request overview

Adds an initial implementation of “Persistable Sessions” for HiveServer2, allowing HS2 to recover session state (configs, jars, temp tables) from an external shared store (ZooKeeper/Redis) after failover.

Changes:

• Introduces a new service-session-store module with SessionStateStore plus ZooKeeper and Redis implementations and a JSON-serializable HiveSessionSnapshot.
• Integrates snapshot save/delete + session recovery logic into HS2 SessionManager, with a configurable fetch strategy.
• Adds utilities + hooks (PersistableSessionUtils, HiveSessionImpl notifications) and new unit/integration tests covering recovery and strategies.

• When restoring temp tables during hydration, the warn log drops the exception stack trace (only logs e.getMessage()). That makes restore failures hard to debug, especially when a DDL fails due to missing jars/serde/permissions. Logging the exception object preserves useful context.

        for (Map.Entry<String, String> entry : snapshot.getTempTableDefinitions().entrySet()) {
          try {
            session.executeStatement(entry.getValue(), null);
          } catch (Exception e) {
            LOG.warn("Failed to restore temporary table {}: {}", entry.getKey(), e.getMessage());
          }
