Thanks for your suggestion. My property settings did have the second rule defined but not the first.
However, it did not seem to help. I tried setting the rule several other ways but nothing seems to work. I still get the same behavior.

To can do this by editing the hadoop.security.auth_to_local property under HDFS->Configs->Advanced->Advanced core-site. Adding the following rule should do the trick: RULE:[1:$1@$0](.*-robertaclus...@trafkdc.com)s/-robertaCluster@.*// You will need to add this rule to the ruleset before/above less general rules like RULE:[1:$1@$0](.*@TRAFKDC.COM)s/@.*// After adding this rule, save the config and restart the recommended services.

I have tried this with both versions 2.2 and 2.3 and get similar results. After I enable Kerberos, I create a Linux user called trafodion and grant this user all HBase permissions. I connect as trafodion but get permission errors when I try to create a table.
