Synchronize hive databases task fails when specifying wildcard character in Apache Ambari

Details
In Big Data Service clusters using Oracle Distribution including Apache Hadoop, if you synchronize the hive databases by specifying the wildcard character * for the Synchronize Hive Databases property using Apache Ambari, you receive an error that states that the synchronization of Hive Metadata failed.
Workaround
We are aware of the issue and working on a resolution. Meanwhile, do not use the wildcard character * for the Synchronize Hive Databases property, but explicitly specify the Hive databases that you want to synchronize as a comma separated, no spaces list. For example: db1,db2.
