Currently hcat only supports the mapreduce package and not the mapred package that giraph uses.
Also in order to use hcat your table properties must define "hcat.isd" and "hcat.osd" which stand for InputStorageDriver and OutputStorageDriver. These are the interfaces used in hcat to read/write data.
