Description

For a Hive query started by Oozie Hive action, the local task submitted for Mapjoin fails. The HDFS delegation token is not shared properly with the child JVM created for the local task.

Oozie creates a delegation token for the Hive action and sets env variable HADOOP_TOKEN_FILE_LOCATION as well as mapreduce.job.credentials.binary config property. However this doesn't get passed down to the child JVM which causes the problem.
This is similar issue addressed by HIVE-4343 which address the problem HiveServer2
