[Manta Admin UI] Hive scanner connection validation for kerberos authentication fails with errors

See this idea on ideas.ibm.com

why is it useful?

Every scanners we have worked so far like IFPC, DB2, MSSQL, MySQL, Oracle, Netezza, Microstrategy has validate button in Manta Admin UI. It gives a confidence to users that all pre-requisites are met w.r.t connectivity from Manta to external systems as described before. 

However, for Hive scanner, it is a different case, the validate button shows error message - "Configuration validation failed
Hive connection failed. Validation of the privileges for this connection type is not supported. Please run the extraction process and review the potential error messages in the extractor logs.

who would benefit from it?

Manta users

How should it work?

Validate button should works as expected like connection validated successfully in Manta Admin UI.
