Summary: issues getting the default database path Key: HIVE-20471 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-20471 Project: Hive Issue Type: Bug Reporter: Sergey Shelukhin {noformat} Caused by: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Can not create a Path from an empty string at org.apache.hadoop.fs.Path.checkPathArg(Path.java:168) at org.apache.hadoop.fs.Path.<init>(Path.java:237) at org.apache.hadoop.hive.metastore.Warehouse.getDnsPath(Warehouse.java:143) at org.apache.hadoop.hive.metastore.Warehouse.getDnsPath(Warehouse.java:147) at org.apache.hadoop.hive.metastore.Warehouse.getWhRoot(Warehouse.java:160) at org.apache.hadoop.hive.metastore.Warehouse.getDatabasePath(Warehouse.java:235) at org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.parse.SemanticAnalyzer.getMetaData(SemanticAnalyzer.java:2335) at org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.parse.SemanticAnalyzer.getMetaData(SemanticAnalyzer.java:2074) {noformat} given that the path passed to getDnsPath is already a path that is probably valid, this method needs to be a little bit more reliable. Not sure which argument turns out to be empty, but I wonder why this complexity is needed for the default database. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005)
