Configuring Drill to Use Kerberos with Hive Metastore

When you configure Drill to use Kerberos with the Hive metastore, Drill submits requests to the Hive metastore as the mapr superuser. If you want Drill to submit requests to the Hive metastore as any other user, configure Drill impersonation with Hive instead of performing this task. Drill impersonation works with or without Kerberos configured for the Hive metastore.
