Description

When trying to:
POST /api/atlas/v2/entity/bulk

{
  "entities": [
    {
      "typeName": "hive_db",
      "attributes": {
        "qualifiedName": "findme",
        "name": "findme",
        "clusterName": <here comes a 33482223 + 10 character long string>
      },
      "status": "ACTIVE",
      "createdBy": "admin",
      "updatedBy": "admin",
      "createTime": 1489585008165,
      "updateTime": 1489585008801,
      "version": 0,
      "classifications": [],
      "superTypes": []
    }
  ],
  "referredEntities": {}
}

The following occurs in the logs:

Caused by: org.apache.atlas.AtlasException: Unknown datatype {name=hive_principal_type, description=hive_principal_type}
        at org.apache.atlas.typesystem.persistence.StructInstance.setNull(StructInstance.java:274)

        ... 101 more               

This is because the hive_db contains hive_principal_type which is an enum, and StructInstance.setNull does not handle enum types.
