I am trying to connect to impala using Python (Impyla). I am able to connect, however, I always get an error message saying the user is not able to execute queries (i.e. User 'ABC' does not have privileges to execute 'SELECT'. The user shown in the error is the user running the script (for example 'ABC', even if I specify a different user in the connect and cursor statements:
conn = connect(host='____', port=21050, auth_mechanism='GSSAPI', use_ssl=True, user='DEF')
cur = conn.cursor(user='DEF')
Is there any way to get it to use user DEF rather than user ABC? I have confirmed that user is set to DEF by putting in some print statements in 'hiveserver2.py' file.
