hive install failure via ambari

[#1]

Hi experts,

I am trying to deploy a cluster with the apache bigtops package via ambari.

I was able to deploy the basic components such as hdfs, yarn, mapreduce, and zookeeper via ambari.

Now I am trying to install hive.

I am able to install hive through the command line with "yum install hive*"

Ambari is currently failing to install hcatalog.

Looking at the ambari logs, I noticed this error:
resource_management.core.exceptions.ExecutionFailed: Execution of '/usr/bin/yum -d 0 -e 0 -y install hcatalog' returned 1. Error: Nothing to do

However, when installing via command line, I am able to install hcatalog with

"yum install hive-hcatalog"

Can someone please let me know how I can have ambari run the command 

/usr/bin/yum -d 0 -e 0 -y install hive-hcatalog

instead of 
/usr/bin/yum -d 0 -e 0 -y install hcatalog

Any help is much appreciated.

Thanks,

Ambari Version 2.6.1.0

Here is the error I see in ambari when it is trying to install the components.

ok so I finally figured out how to have ambari run the command 

/usr/bin/yum -d 0 -e 0 -y install hive-hcatalog

I had to modify the file:

/var/lib/ambari-server/resources/common-services/HIVE/0.12.0.2.0/metainfo.xml

under the <osSpecifics> tag.

Restarted ambari and then ambari was able to run the correct command to have hive installed.
