Oozie Hive2 action in kerberized cluster using HS2 http transport

[#1]

workflow.xmlTrying to run an Oozie Hive2 action in kerberized cluster with HS2 transport set to http (to support Knox), I'm getting the following error:

ACTION[0000010-1...6-oozie-oozi-W@hive2-node] Exception in addtoJobConforg.apache.hive.service.cli.HiveSQLException: Delegation token only supported over kerberos authentication

I set

jdbcUrl=jdbc:hive2://oozie1.example.com:10000/default;ssl=false;transportMode=http;httpPath=cliservice

and hive principal to hive/[email protected] and I can see in the log that the final URL was constructed correctly by concat-ing jdbcUrl and the principal, but I get the exception. Has anybody been able to make this run and how? BTW, Hive's doAs=false, as I found some articles claiming this to be the solution, but not for me 😞

Attaching the workflow, it's from Oozie examples, with added credentials and the password. jdbcUrl and the principal are given above.

Can you share your workflow? Did you add the Hive2Credential in the action?

Actually not completely sure if needed in a Hive2 Action but I assume so. He gets the information like keytab from the hive-site.xml

https://oozie.apache.org/docs/4.2.0/DG_ActionAuthentication.html

Does the same URL work from beeline?

Just put the workflow.xml, and yes, the same URL with the principal works from beeline.

[#4 · Accepted solution]

HTTP transport mode of HS2 + kerberos + Oozie Hive2 action is not supported in current releases of HDP. It will be fixed in next maintenance release of HDP 2.4 .

This is the apache jira tracking it - https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-13169

Thanks for chiming in! It seems it was resolved just a few days ago. We'll be waiting for the fix.
