@Megha U The reason for the error reported on tagsync log (and returned by ranger-admin) is directly because there is no service "atlastest_hive" in the ranger-admin. As part of processing of kafka notification for tag creation, tagsync builds a ranger-admin request from the data in the notification. This request contains the service-name to which tagged entity belongs, and sends it over to ranger-admin for persisting in the ranger-admin database. When ranger-admin validates it, it does find the corresponding service and hence the error. What do you want to do with tags in your installation? If you don't plan to use ranger-authorizer for hive-server2, then the tagged entities are not expected to be authorized by ranger and tags (which are basically classifications for hive entities) are not very useful to you.
