-------------------------------------------------------

             Summary: Hive should report that the file/path doesn’t exist when 
it doesn’t (it now reports SocketTimeoutException)
                 Key: HIVE-6137
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-6137
             Project: Hive
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: Hari Sankar Sivarama Subramaniyan
            Assignee: Hari Sankar Sivarama Subramaniyan




Hive should report that the file/path doesn’t exist when it doesn’t (it now 
reports SocketTimeoutException):

Execute a Hive DDL query with a reference to a non-existent blob (such as 
CREATE EXTERNAL TABLE...) and check Hive logs (stderr):

FAILED: Error in metadata: org.apache.thrift.transport.TTransportException: 
java.net.SocketTimeoutException: Read timed out
FAILED: Execution Error, return code 1 from 
org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.exec.DDLTask

This error message is not intuitive. If a file doesn't exist, Hive should 
report FileNotFoundException.
