HDP 3.1 Spark Hive Warehouse Connector with Ranger No kerberos

[#1]

Hello everyone, is it possible to use Spark with the Hive Warehouse Connector with Ranger while not having Kerberos enabled? On the spark shell I keep getting the error...

FAILED: HiveAccessControlException Permission denied: user [anonymous] does not have [USE] privilege on [default]

... despite configuring every single aspect illustrated in the HDP documentation (image attached).

The user is "anonymous" but I don't understand why because when reading/writing to HDFS my user is established properly. I suspect I have to pass an argument to some Hive Warehouse Connector parameter, but the documentation does not indicate this.

Can someone help?

Bets regards,

Carlos

Ok, found it. You just need to add the conf "user" in the following url property:

spark.sql.hive.hiveserver2.jdbc.url=jdbc:hive2://xxxxxx:2181,xxxxxxx:2181,xxxxxxx:2181/;serviceDiscoveryMode=zooKeeper;zooKeeperNamespace=hiveserver2-interactive;user=hive

I feel that this case could be better documented :)

Best regards,

Carlos
