----------------------------------------
Summary: HCatBaseLoader.getSizeInBytes NPE when partition path is
missing
Key: HCATALOG-530
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HCATALOG-530
Project: HCatalog
Issue Type: Bug
Affects Versions: 0.5
Reporter: Travis Crawford
Assignee: Travis Crawford
If you have the misfortune of having a partition in the metadata service that
does not exist on disk {{HCatBaseLoader.getSizeInBytes}} will throw an NPE in
this section:
{code}
for (FileStatus child : p.getFileSystem(conf).listStatus(p)) {
sizeInBytes += child.getLen();
}
{code}
because {{listStatus}} returns null of the path does not exist. Pig eventually
blows up in {{PigInputFormat.getSplits}} with a useful error message, saying
the path (which it helpfully shows you) does not exist.
Since Pig will give a useful error message later, I think we should simply skip
reporting the size of missing partitions.
