Jacek Lewandowski created SPARK-16528: -----------------------------------------
Summary: HiveClientImpl throws NPE when reading database from a custom metastore Key: SPARK-16528 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-16528 Project: Spark Issue Type: Bug Components: SQL Affects Versions: 2.0.0 Reporter: Jacek Lewandowski In _HiveClientImpl_ there is a method to create database: {code} override def createDatabase( database: CatalogDatabase, ignoreIfExists: Boolean): Unit = withHiveState { client.createDatabase( new HiveDatabase( database.name, database.description, database.locationUri, database.properties.asJava), ignoreIfExists) } {code} The problem is that it assumes that {{database.properties}} is a not null value which is not always the truth. In fact, when the database is created, in _HiveMetaStore_ we have: {code} private void createDefaultDB_core(RawStore ms) throws MetaException, InvalidObjectException { try { ms.getDatabase(DEFAULT_DATABASE_NAME); } catch (NoSuchObjectException e) { Database db = new Database(DEFAULT_DATABASE_NAME, DEFAULT_DATABASE_COMMENT, wh.getDefaultDatabasePath(DEFAULT_DATABASE_NAME).toString(), null); db.setOwnerName(PUBLIC); db.setOwnerType(PrincipalType.ROLE); ms.createDatabase(db); } } {code} As you can see, parameters field is set to {{null}}. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: issues-unsubscr...@spark.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: issues-h...@spark.apache.org
