From blog "https://kylin.apache.org/blog/2016/06/10/standalone-hbase-cluster/";, you can see the sentence "Make sure Kylin Server can submit MR job to main cluster, and can use hive shell to access data warehouse, make sure the configurations of hadoop and hive points to main cluster " .
And, you can check another doc which only for Kylin 4, "Copy the hive-site.xml from build cluster to query cluster into right directory (typically, hive configuration should located at : /etc/hive/conf). So the query can load Hive metadata from build cluster properly." show the same things. (Link : https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/KYLIN/Read-Write+Separation+Deployment+for+Kylin+4.0) So I think maybe you forget to copy right hive-site.xml to HBase cluster? -- Best wishes to you !
