cannot feed a table in hive from hbase - hive

Question

on HDP 3.1.x I created a table linked to Hbase with the option STORED BY org.apache.hadoop.hive.hbase.HBaseStorageHandler.
When executing a select, it works fine.
When I try to populate a table from this, it crashes with the error
create table test as select * from hbase_xxx;
INFO : Completed executing command(queryId=hive_20210205161427_a49ca7bc-0637-4c19-9a62-6657376373a1); Time taken: 74.951 seconds
Error: Error while processing statement: FAILED: Execution Error, return code 2 from org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.exec.tez.TezTask.

org.apache.hadoop.hbase.client.RetriesExhaustedException: Can't get the location for replica 0
When having a look to YARN logs, it appears that it tries to connect to zookeeper from a datanode with localhost:2181 ... and failed
2021-02-05 11:22:41,921 [WARN] [ReadOnlyZKClient-localhost:2181#0x48730f2c] |zookeeper.ReadOnlyZKClient|: 0x48730f2c to localhost:2181 failed for get of /hbase/hbaseid, code = CONNECTIONLOSS, retries = 1
The same log on a select show the zookeeper_quorum connection string to zookeeper and succeed
Any ideas?

I had a return from the support; you have to force hbase-site.xml into the template of hive env
This is the solution
Add the below:
export HIVE_AUX_JARS_PATH=${HIVE_AUX_JARS_PATH}:/etc/hbase/conf/hbase-site.xml
to your Advanced hive-env->hive-env template, before this statement export METASTORE_PORT={{hive_metastore_port}}
