Joe McDonnell 97792c4bad IMPALA-10198 (part 2): Add support for mvn versions:set
This adds support for setting the version of Java
artifacts through "mvn versions:set". It changes
the modules to inherit the version from the parent
pom.

Previously, we used a mix of 0.1-SNAPSHOT and
1.0-SNAPSHOT. This now uses 4.0.0-SNAPSHOT across the
board. With each release, we can use "mvn versions:set"
to update the versions. The only exception is the
Hive UDF code that we build for testing. This remains
at version 1.0 to avoid test changes.

Testing:
 - Ran core job
 - Added build-all-flag-combinations.sh case that
   does "mvn versions:set" and runs a build

This is a tool to convert a nested dataset to an unnested dataset. The source and/or
destination can be the local file system or HDFS.

Structs get converted to a column (with a long name). Arrays and Maps get converted to
a table which can be joined with the parent table on id column.

$ mvn exec:java \
    -Dexec.mainClass=org.apache.impala.infra.tableflattener.Main \
    -Dexec.arguments="file:///tmp/in.parquet,file:///tmp/out,-sfile:///tmp/in.avsc"

$ mvn exec:java \
    -Dexec.mainClass=org.apache.impala.infra.tableflattener.Main \
    -Dexec.arguments="hdfs://localhost:20500/nested.avro,file://$PWD/unnested"

There are various options to specify the type of input file but the output is always
parquet/snappy.

For additional help, use the following command:
$ mvn exec:java \
    -Dexec.mainClass=org.apache.impala.infra.tableflattener.Main -Dexec.arguments="--help"

This is used by testdata/bin/generate-load-nested.sh.
