Steve Loughran commented on HIVE-13901:
---------------------------------------
Well, I'm not deeply involved enough in Hive to have any binding opinions, but
I'd still be rejecting this on the basis that you aren't initializing the inner
cause of an exception,
StringifyException does dump the exception to a string, but in the process,
removes it from the data structures which exist precisely for the purpose of
debugging wrapped exceptions.
irrespective of how {{MetaException }} was generated, or what constructor it
has, it will have an {{initCause()}} method.
This will work
{code}
throw (MetaException)new MetaException(e.toString()).initCause(e);
{code}
or more verbosely
{code}
MetaException ex = new MetaException(e.toString());
ex.initCause(e);
throw ex;
{code}
Notice how I also switched from {{getMessage()}} to ((toString()}}. Some
exceptions (NPE) have a null getMessage().
