I configured Ranger to write Hive audit log to HDFS. After restarting Hive it writes audit log to HDFS about two days and after it gives following error in Hive log: 2016-08-10 09:31:34,438 INFO [hiveServer2.async.summary.batch_hiveServer2.async.summary.batch.hdfs_destWriter]: provider.BaseAuditHandler (BaseAuditHandler.java:logStatus(312)) - Audit Status Log: name=hiveServer2.async.summary.batch.hdfs, interval=01:00.066 minutes, events=1, deferredCount=1, totalEvents=6657, totalSuccessCount=5203, totalDeferredCount=1454 2016-08-10 09:31:34,443 INFO [hiveServer2.async.summary.batch_hiveServer2.async.summary.batch.hdfs_destWriter]: destination.HDFSAuditDestination (HDFSAuditDestination.java:createConfiguration(263)) - Returning HDFS Filesystem Config: Configuration: core-default.xml, core-site.xml, mapred-default.xml, mapred-site.xml, yarn-default.xml, yarn-site.xml, hdfs-default.xml, hdfs-site.xml 2016-08-10 09:31:34,457 INFO [hiveServer2.async.summary.batch_hiveServer2.async.summary.batch.hdfs_destWriter]: destination.HDFSAuditDestination (HDFSAuditDestination.java:getLogFileStream(224)) - Checking whether log file exists. hdfPath=hdfs://mycluster/datasource/ranger/audit/hiveServer2//2016/08/10/hiveServer2_ranger_audit_hadoopnn1.estpak.ee.log, UGI=hive/hadoopnn1.estpak...@testhadoop.com<mailto:UGI=hive/hadoopnn1.estpak...@testhadoop.com> (auth:KERBEROS) 2016-08-10 09:31:34,459 WARN [hiveServer2.async.summary.batch_hiveServer2.async.summary.batch.hdfs_destWriter]: ipc.Client (Client.java:run(680)) - Exception encountered while connecting to the server : javax.security.sasl.SaslException: GSS initiate failed [Caused by GSSException: No valid credentials provided (Mechanism level: Failed to find any Kerberos tgt)] Hive is still working correctly after it.
