Issues with Querying and writing into a External Storage in a new databricks workspace

Hello All,

We have recently created a databricks with UC enabled. All the VNET Pairing is completed. Now, while I am trying to create a table [Managed] under a catalog / schema - I am not able to query the table. I am getting below error 

org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.metadata.HiveException: java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to instantiate org.apache.hadoop.hive.metastore.HiveMetaStoreClient  

Also, while I am trying to write a Dataframe into an External location, I am seeing the same issue as mentioned. Any idea what is wrong here? Please note - as I will be using Unity catalog, nothing has been done (configuration) with respect to hive_metastore. Is this some hive_metastore related configuration issue ?

my write code

# Write the DataFrame to the specified Delta table
df_out.write.format("delta").mode("overwrite").option(
    "path", "abfss://container@storageaccountname.dfs.core.windows.net/test_data/tbd/"
).saveAsTable("schema_name.table_name")
