Summary: Beeline throws NPE when beeline.hiveconfvariables={} in beeline.properties Key: HIVE-16116 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-16116 Project: Hive Issue Type: Bug Components: Beeline Reporter: Rajesh Balamohan Assignee: Rajesh Balamohan Priority: Minor Env: hive master Steps to reproduce: 1. clear previous beeline.properties (rm -rf ~/.beeline/beeline.properties) 2. Launch beeline, "!save" and exit. This would create new "~/.beeline/beeline.properties", which would have "beeline.hiveconfvariables={}" 3. Launch "beeline --hiveconf hive.tmp.dir=/tmp". This would throw NPE {noformat} Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException at org.apache.hive.beeline.BeeLine.setHiveConfVar(BeeLine.java:885) at org.apache.hive.beeline.BeeLine.connectUsingArgs(BeeLine.java:832) at org.apache.hive.beeline.BeeLine.initArgs(BeeLine.java:775) at org.apache.hive.beeline.BeeLine.begin(BeeLine.java:1009) at org.apache.hive.beeline.BeeLine.mainWithInputRedirection(BeeLine.java:519) at org.apache.hive.beeline.BeeLine.main(BeeLine.java:501) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(Native Method) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(NativeMethodAccessorImpl.java:62) at sun.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.java:43) at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:498) at org.apache.hadoop.util.RunJar.run(RunJar.java:233) at org.apache.hadoop.util.RunJar.main(RunJar.java:148) {noformat} -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.15#6346)
