I used below link for reference:
https://www.yellowfinbi.com/resources/forum/yfforum-connecting-to-hiveserver2-thread-173126
Did search and found that issue is related to missing commons-lang.jar but commons-lang3-3.1.jar is already present under /opt/yellowfin/appserver/webapps/ROOT/WEB-INF/lib.
I tried with commons-lang-2.6.jar, commons-lang3-3.4.jar, commons-lang3.jar but none of them worked.
Please Suggest..
The same problem 
Hi Shyam,
I am not familiar with this specific database, but we do support connections through the Hive2 driver.
Looking at this error specifically, the plugin manager works a little differently than the rest of the libraries in Yellowfin. When you first load a plugin, Yellowfin will load all of the available jars and classes into the BinaryClassCache. Any further use of the plugin will reference this cache rather than the Yellowfin lib folder. One immediate fix might be to try and include the apache commons.lang library in with the rest of your driver:
click "edit" and then "add more" and point to this jar (you can take it straight out of the lib folder)
However, I cannot guarantee that after all of this, the driver will work., so it might be worth trying the more generic hive2 driver.

Nathan
