kerberos Hive Server

["Valluri, Sathish" <sa...@emc.com>]

Hi,



I am setting Kerberos authentication on Hive Server2. Using hive 0.11 from mapr distribution.

After setting the following configurations, when trying to start hive server2, it failing with the following error

13/09/05 08:59:10 INFO service.AbstractService: Service:HiveServer2 is started.

javax.security.auth.login.LoginException: Kerberos principal should have 3 parts: root

at org.apache.hive.service.auth.HiveAuthFactory.getAuthTransFactory(HiveAuthFactory.java:82)

        at org.apache.hive.service.cli.thrift.ThriftCLIService.run(ThriftCLIService.java:403)

        at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:722)





I have generated the principal and keytab files and giving the same principal name, although it has proper 3 parts still it's giving this error.

Can anybody know how to resolve this issue or any suggestions.
