ERROR ipc.AbstractRpcClient: SASL authentication failed.

[Ascot Moss]

Hi,

I am trying to use hbase-indexer to index hbase table to Solr, 

Hbase-Indexer is 1.6

Hbase  is 1.2.5 with Kerberos enabled, 
Solr 6.6

After putting new test rows into the Hbase table, I got the following error from hbase-indexer:

WARN ipc.AbstractRpcClient: Exception encountered while connecting to the server : javax.security.sasl.SaslException: GSS initiate failed [Caused by GSSException: No valid credentials provided (Mechanism level: Failed to find any Kerberos tgt)]

ERROR ipc.AbstractRpcClient: SASL authentication failed. The most likely cause is missing or invalid credentials. Consider 'kinit'.

It seems that hbase-indexer somehow is not able access hbase metadata. Any idea how to resolve this issue? Any workaround?
