Confirmed with Zhijie Shen from Hortonworks (big thanks for the help!) and it is actually caused by the fact that WebHCat does not know Hive configurations. Assuming you have set the following properties for Hive: [cid:image001.png@01D06608.A0B59290] Then putting these three properties into templeton.hive.properties would workaround this issue.

Hi Hive experts, I know that Hive is writing logs to ATS (application timeline server) when a hive script is executed from the CLI. However, when I try to submit Hive jobs from WebHCat, it seems that it does not write logs into ATS? How could I configure Hive to make the jobs submitted from WebHCat also log into ATS? Thanks!
