Unable to connect to Drill using JDBC driver when using custom authenticator

Steps to reproduce:
Set up Drill with a custom authenticator as described here: https://drill.apache.org/docs/creating-custom-authenticators/

Try to connect using simple java client.
Connection hangs without any errors. It is caused by the fix for DRILL-6540 where was excluded com.fasterxml.woodstox:woodstox-core but its classes are used in org.apache.hadoop.conf.Configuration.
