hive -e throws NoSuchMethodError when called from oozie sub-workflow using <shell>, runs perfectly when called from main workflow - hive

Question

I was refactoring a oozie workflow, all of the workflow in written in single file, was trying to break it down to subworkflows.
But after refactoring it started throwing
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.apache.hadoop.io.retry.RetryPolicies.retryForeverWithFixedSleep(JLjava/util/concurrent/TimeUnit;)Lorg/apache/hadoop/io/retry/RetryPolicy;
Original workflow:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

loadToHiveActionScript.sh
hive -e "Drop table if exists ${3}.${i}_intermediate";
...
hive -e " Alter table ${3}.${i}_intermediate RENAME TO ${3}.$i";
When this is run in the main workflow file, it executes perfectly fine.
Can this be issue of
env-var: HADOOP_USER_NAME=${wf:user()}
