You're right, it might be other problem. I'm biased a little. Granted that it's not caused by hive-exec(failures are from quite simple queries), It might be disk full or network problem. But it was like that, it might be detected by operation team in Cloudera.
Regard my suggestion as a cheap shot before doing some serious work.
