Status: Open (was: Patch Available)
Sorry, this one has gone stale...could you rebase against trunk?
> NullPointerException on select * with table using RegexSerDe and partitions
> ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: HIVE-2111
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-2111
> Project: Hive
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Serializers/Deserializers
> Affects Versions: 0.7.0
> Environment: Amazon Elastic Mapreduce
> Reporter: Marc Harris
> Assignee: Chinna Rao Lalam
> Attachments: HIVE-2111.patch

> When querying against a table that is partitioned, and uses RegexSerde,
> select with explicit columns works, but "select *" results in a
> NullPointerException
> To reproduce:
> 1) create a table containing the following text (notice the blank line):
> ====start====
> fillerdatafillerdatafiller
> fillerdata2fillerdata2filler
> =====end=====
> 2) copy the file to hdfs:
> hadoop dfs -put foo.txt test/part1=x/foo.txt
> 3) run the following hive commands to create a table:
> add jar s3://elasticmapreduce/samples/hive/jars/hive_contrib.jar;
> drop table test;
> create external table test(col1 STRING, col2 STRING)
> partitioned by (part1 STRING)
> row format serde 'org.apache.hadoop.hive.contrib.serde2.RegexSerDe'
> with serdeproperties ( "input.regex" = "^\(.*data\)\(.*data\).*$")
> stored as textfile
> location 'hdfs:///user/hadoop/test';
> alter table test add partition (part1='x');
> (Note that the text processor seems to have mangled the regex a bit. Inside
> each pair of parentheses should be dot star data. After the second pair of
> parentheses should be dot start dollar).
> 4) select from it with explicit columns:
> select part1, col1, col2 from test;
> outputs:
> OK
> x fillerdata fillerdata
> x NULL NULL
> x fillerdata 2fillerdata
> 5) select from it with * columns
> select * from test;
> outputs:
