Oozie hive action failing with NullPointer exception

Facing this issue while running Oozie hive action, though same sql query works fine from hive shell.

HDP version : 2.3.4.0

Please post your workflow and ditectory tree. I have a sample app using hcatalog with pig, difference for you would be to replace pig with hive. Pleas make sure you have hive-site.xml and proper permissions on the files. https://github.com/dbist/oozie/tree/master/apps/hcatalog

I am wondering if it could be be cause of Hbase configuration not being available in the HS2 oozie action.

I also faced the same exception and it worked after I added hbase-site.xml to the oozie hive sharelib path (/user/oozie/share/lib/lib_<>/hive)

You can do what @Arti Wadhwani said or you can add hbase-site.xml under <job-xml> in your oozie workflow.xml

Below is the example snippet:

    <start to="hive-node"/>
    <action name="hive-node" cred="my_auth,hbaseauth">
        <hive xmlns="uri:oozie:hive-action:0.2">
            <job-tracker>${jobTracker}</job-tracker>
            <name-node>${nameNode}</name-node>
            <prepare>
                <delete path="${nameNode}/user/${wf:user()}/${examplesRoot}/output-data/hive"/>
                <mkdir path="${nameNode}/user/${wf:user()}/${examplesRoot}/output-data"/>
            </prepare>
        <job-xml>hbase-site.xml</job-xml>
