Hey @supriya. 

Seems like you have not set the properties for the current user. To solve this error, add current user in core-site.xml  file (path is $HADOOP_HOME/conf/core-site.xml). 

Append the file with the following entry:

<property>
  <name>hadoop.proxyuser.current_user.groups</name>
  <value>*</value>
</property>

<property>
  <name>hadoop.proxyuser.current_user.hosts</name>
  <value>*</value>
</property>

Replace "current_user" in the above text with your username.

If you want to set these properties for a particular group or server, replace * with group name and server name respectively:

<property>
  <name>hadoop.proxyuser.current_user.groups</name>
  <value>name_of_your_group</value>
</property>

<property>
  <name>hadoop.proxyuser.current_user.hosts</name>
  <value>name_of_your_server</value>
</property>
