hcat error does not indicate that metaserver connection failed due to
authentication issues (in secure mode)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: HCATALOG-231
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HCATALOG-231
Project: HCatalog
Issue Type: Bug
Affects Versions: 0.2, 0.3
Reporter: Thejas M Nair
If the kerberos ticket-granting ticket has not been correctly set (using
kinit), the error that hcat gives is not very useful -
FAILED: Error in metadata: MetaException(message:Could not connect to meta
store using any of the URIs provided)
It will be useful to print a message that authentication with meta store had
failed.
When it fails because of some other reason, it should also print the URI it
failed to connect to. That will make it easier to figure out if is a
configuration issue.
