Na Yang created HIVE-8751: ----------------------------- Summary: Null Pointer Exception when counter is used for stats during inserting overwrite partitioned tables [Spark Branch] Key: HIVE-8751 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-8751 Project: Hive Issue Type: Bug Reporter: Na Yang
The following quries cause NullPointerException {noformat} set hive.stats.dbclass=counter; set hive.stats.autogather=true; set hive.exec.dynamic.partition.mode=nonstrict; create table dummy (key string, value string) partitioned by (ds string, hr string); insert overwrite table dummy partition (ds='10',hr='11') select * from src; {noformat} Here is the stacktrace {noformat} 2014-11-05 15:30:42,621 ERROR [main] exec.Task (SparkTask.java:execute(116)) - Failed to execute spark task. java.lang.NullPointerException at org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.exec.spark.SparkTask.getRequiredCounterPrefix(SparkTask.java:235) at org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.exec.spark.SparkTask.execute(SparkTask.java:103) at org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.exec.Task.executeTask(Task.java:161) at org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.exec.TaskRunner.runSequential(TaskRunner.java:85) at org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.Driver.launchTask(Driver.java:1644) at org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.Driver.execute(Driver.java:1404) at org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.Driver.runInternal(Driver.java:1216) at org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.Driver.run(Driver.java:1043) at org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.Driver.run(Driver.java:1033) at org.apache.hadoop.hive.cli.CliDriver.processLocalCmd(CliDriver.java:247) at org.apache.hadoop.hive.cli.CliDriver.processCmd(CliDriver.java:199) at org.apache.hadoop.hive.cli.CliDriver.processLine(CliDriver.java:410) at org.apache.hadoop.hive.cli.CliDriver.executeDriver(CliDriver.java:783) at org.apache.hadoop.hive.cli.CliDriver.run(CliDriver.java:677) at org.apache.hadoop.hive.cli.CliDriver.main(CliDriver.java:616) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(Native Method) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(NativeMethodAccessorImpl.java:39) at sun.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.java:25) at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:597) at org.apache.hadoop.util.RunJar.main(RunJar.java:212) FAILED: Execution Error, return code 1 from org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.exec.spark.SparkTask {noformat} The cause of this NullPointerException is that the SparkTask tries to get table partition info to set RequiredCounterPrefix before data are actually inserted to the partitioned table. Therefore, a null partition info is returned. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
