I also updated the conf file on the machine to be identical to the one on the cluster.

 

Do you know what is causing the excpetion ?

I resolved this by using cloudera manager to do the installation on the machine.

I had to add the machine to the list of hosts then configure a template to include hive gateway and then added and started the role on the machine.

I also uninstalled all my yum installation.

Workes fine now
