Hello, I have the same problem now.
I am using version 1.5.1, and I really do not want to downgrade from 1.5.1 --> 1.2.3 !!!
It works fine on a cluster with hive 0.13 and hdp 2.1 hadoop 2.4 using conf as CDH5.5
But in the new cluster, HIve 014, hdp 2.2 and Hadoop 2.6 using conf as CDH5.5 over Kerberos, All works fine, even authentication. However I got the same error from mapreduce.
What can I do ?
