MetaException(message:java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: java.net.URISyntaxException: Relative path in absolute URI: NULL::character%20varying) i want to say this is somehow related to a java version (we're using 8) but i'm not sure. any insights on how to go from here? cheers, Stephen PS setting hive.root.logger=DEBUG,console here's the traceback.
