Can't connect to Hive Metastore in cluster with Kerberos and TLS enabled: Peer indicated failure

[#1]

Using CDH 5.3, with Kerberos and TLS enabled when we got to testing loading data, noticed that connection to Hive Metastore fails. Cloudera Manager is not indicating any issues with principals and their keytabs. What may I be  missing here?

[#3 · Accepted solution]

I was looking further into this and it appears the problem comes up when I first try loading data to newly created table, and throws:

Fetching results ran into the following error(s):

java.io.IOException: java.io.IOException: HTTP status [500], message [Internal Server Error]

[#4]

is this the solution?
