Github user steveloughran commented on the pull request: https://github.com/apache/spark/pull/9232#issuecomment-150688417 Updated patch 1. Moves all arg validation up before any hive class reflection 1. gets all hive class methods before attempting to call any 1. calls `Hive.closeCurrent()` in a finally block (if it could be loaded); catches and logs exceptions @ warn With this load-methods-first strategy, the `closeCurrent` variable will always contain a value prior to `Hive.get()` being invoked. As a result, `Hive.closeCurrent()` will always be invoked after `Hive.get()` method has been invoked (irrespective of outcome), so is guaranteed to trigger a cleanup once a Hive instance was created. Previously, any failure of `Hive.getDelegationToken()` would skip the cleanup.
