Description

While running through hive CLI , hive grant command throws a parseException '@' not supported. But in a secure cluster ( Kerberos ) the username is appended with the realmname seperated by the character '@'.Without giving the full username the permissions are not granted to the intended user.

"grant all on table tablename to user user@REALM"
