HIVE-4226 is a very welcome patch but in the long run I think we want to
move away from using static thread local everywhere which that patch uses.
Rightfully so at this juncture.

Meaning I think that HIVE-4226 is a good interim solution but long term I
think we want to be passing around some kind of context object as Edward
suggests in his original mail. This will make the code cleaner and more
testable.

This is a big effort and will require some analysis and planning before
execution.
