Aws EMR - Hive materialized view rebuild throws exception

[vipin-agarwal]

We have Materialized views built on top of Hudi tables which are hive-sync'd.

Hive uses AWS Glue for its metastore catalog.
We are running into issue whenever we are trying to "rebuild" Hive materialized views. Please note, creation of materialized views works fine. It's only rebuild which is failing. However, it does seem the rebuild actually seems to work behind the scenes but its throws some exception causing EMR steps to fail.

Can anyone please guide us here, about any config changes that we need to do or anything. Any help will be great.

EMR - 6.3.0
Spark -  3.1.1
Hive - 3.1.2
