Pradeep Kamath updated HIVE-1428:
---------------------------------
Attachment: HIVE-1428-2.patch
New patch with unit tests included. Thanks for the suggestion of using threads
Paul, have used that in the unit test. I have made a change in HiveConf to
enable the unit test. The remaining changes in the patch are as in the first
version - to throw NoSuchObjectException in getPartition() when no partition
exists. This mainly changes the generated thrift code (to add throws in the
method signature) and in other code which interacts with it to catch the
exception and set the partition object to null.

> Key: HIVE-1428
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-1428
> Project: Hadoop Hive
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Metastore
> Affects Versions: 0.6.0, 0.7.0
> Reporter: Paul Yang
> Attachments: HIVE-1428-2.patch, HIVE-1428.patch,

> If the hive cli is configured to use a remote metastore, ALTER TABLE ... ADD
> PARTITION commands will fail with an error similar to the following:
> [prade...@chargesize:~/dev/howl]hive --auxpath ult-serde.jar -e "ALTER TABLE
> mytable add partition(datestamp = '20091101', srcid = '10',action) location
> '/user/pradeepk/mytable/20091101/10';"
> 10/06/16 17:08:59 WARN conf.Configuration: DEPRECATED: hadoop-site.xml found
> in the classpath. Usage of hadoop-site.xml is deprecated. Instead use
> core-site.xml, mapred-site.xml and hdfs-site.xml to override properties of
> core-default.xml, mapred-default.xml and hdfs-default.xml respectively
> Hive history
> file=/tmp/pradeepk/hive_job_log_pradeepk_201006161709_1934304805.txt
> FAILED: Error in metadata: org.apache.thrift.TApplicationException:
> get_partition failed: unknown result
> FAILED: Execution Error, return code 1 from
> org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.exec.DDLTask
> [prade...@chargesize:~/dev/howl]
> This is due to a check that tries to retrieve the partition to see if it
> exists. If it does not, an attempt is made to pass a null value from the
> metastore. Since thrift does not support null return values, an exception is
> thrown.
