------------------------------------------
Just to make sure is keytab file readable by the user starting the metastore?
> HCat Thrift Server AKA Metastore won't start up successfully the first time

> Hcat thrift server (AKA metastore) wouldn't startup because it kept failing
> to access secured hdfs. The server does not seem to login with kerberos even
> after providing the credentials in the config file. I'm assuming that's what
> it's supposed to use:
> hive.metastore.kerberos.keytab.file
> hive.metastore.kerberos.principal
> Looking through the hive code, the hdfs client does not seem to pickup any
> kerberos configurations/credentials.
> I finally got the server to start by manually logging myself in via kinit
> then running the start script. Is this normal operation? I didn't see it
> documented in installation instructions.
