Hive standalone JAR packaging javamail.providers

Various Apache Hive standalone JAR files have been found to include javamail.providers  and others do not.

Was the inclusion of javamail a packaging defect ?

Given it appears to be removed in other releases, can it be confirmed which versions the fix would be effective from.

Fexample, hive-jdbc-3.1.0.3.1.5.0-152-standalone.jar  and others (i.e. hive-jdbc-3.1.0.3.1.4.41-3 etc) have included or excluded javamail.providers.

The presence of this file impacts products which need where their classpath includes the Apache Hive driver.
