No QUERY privilege error when connecting via Impyl...

Hi,   I'm facing the following error when connecting to Hive server with Kerberos authentication.   Please keep in mind that I can access and query the database easily from Hue.   And, I'm not the admin. I'm only trying to connect to the Hive Server to read some tables and I wont get ALL privilege. Admin tells me that I already have SELECT privilege but I cannot access at all.     Error while compiling statement: FAILED: SemanticException No valid privileges User xxxxxx does not have privileges for QUERY The required privileges: Server=server1=>db=xxx->Table=xxxxx->Column=act_type->action=select;   The code snippet that I use to connect are as follows:       from impala.dbapi import connect conn = connect( host="host.com", port=10000, kerberos_service_name="hive", auth_mechanism="GSSAPI")       However, when I specify a name of database like:       from impala.dbapi import connect conn = connect( host="host.com", port=10000, database = "xxx", kerberos_service_name="hive", auth_mechanism="GSSAPI")       I get following error: Error while compiling statement: FAILED: SemanticException No valid privileges User xxxxxx does not have privileges for SWITCHDATABASE The required privileges: Server=server1=>db=xxx->Table=*->Column=*->action=select;db=xxx->Table=*->Column=*->action=insert;   Please help.    Thank You. ...
