Oozie hive action with kerberos on HDP-1.3.3

Question

I'm trying to execute hive script from oozie hive action on kerberos enabled environment.

Here is my workflow.xml

<action name="hive-to-hdfs">
    <hive xmlns="uri:oozie:hive-action:0.2">
        <job-tracker>${jobTracker}</job-tracker>
        <name-node>${nameNode}</name-node>
        <job-xml>hive-site.xml</job-xml>
        <configuration>
            <property>
                <name>mapred.job.queue.name</name>
                <value>${queueName}</value>
            </property>
        </configuration>
        <script>script.q</script>
        <param>HIVE_EXPORT_TIME=${hiveExportTime}</param>
    </hive>
    <ok to="pass"/>
    <error to="fail"/>

I'm facing issue when trying to connect to hive metastore.

When I disable kerberos security workflow works fine

To enable your Oozie Hive action to function on a secured cluster you need to include a <credentials> section with a credential of type 'hcat' to your workflow.

Your workflow would then look something like:

<workflow-app name='workflow' xmlns='uri:oozie:workflow:0.1'>
    <credentials>
        <credential name='hcat' type='hcat'>
            <property>
                <name>hcat.metastore.uri</name>
                <value>HCAT_URI</value>
            </property>
            <property> 
                <name>hcat.metastore.principal</name>
                <value>HCAT_PRINCIPAL</value>
            </property>
        </credential>
    </credentials>

    <action name="hive-to-hdfs" cred="hcat">
        <hive xmlns="uri:oozie:hive-action:0.2">
            <job-tracker>${jobTracker}</job-tracker>
            <name-node>${nameNode}</name-node>
            <job-xml>hive-site.xml</job-xml>
            <configuration>
                <property>
                    <name>mapred.job.queue.name</name>
                    <value>${queueName}</value>
                </property>
            </configuration>
            <script>script.q</script>
            <param>HIVE_EXPORT_TIME=${hiveExportTime}</param>
        </hive>
        <ok to="pass"/>
        <error to="fail"/>
    </action>
</workflow>

There is also Oozie documentation about this feature.
