Spark ThriftServer encounter java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Unknown auth type: null Allowed values are: [auth-int, auth-conf, auth]

[Andrew Lee]

When Kerberos is enabled, I get the following exceptions. (Spark 1.2.1 git 
commit 








b6eaf77d4332bfb0a698849b1f5f917d20d70e97, Hive 0.13.1, Apache Hadoop 2.4.1) 
when starting Spark ThriftServer.
Command to start thriftserver
./start-thriftserver.sh --hiveconf hive.server2.thrift.port=20000 --hiveconf

I'm wondering if this is due to the same problem described in HIVE-8154 
HIVE-7620 due to an older code based for the Spark ThriftServer?
Any insights are appreciated. Currently, I can't get Spark ThriftServer to run 
against a Kerberos cluster (Apache 2.4.1).

My hive-site.xml looks like the following for spark/conf.
