Summary: HIVE-9664 makes hive depend on ivysettings.xml Key: HIVE-10267 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-10267 Project: Hive Issue Type: Bug Affects Versions: 1.2.0 Reporter: Sushanth Sowmyan Assignee: Anant Nag HIVE-9664 makes hive depend on the existence of ivysettings.xml, and if it is not present, it makes hive NPE when instantiating a CLISessionState. {noformat} java.lang.NullPointerException at org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.session.DependencyResolver.<init>(DependencyResolver.java:61) at org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.session.SessionState.<init>(SessionState.java:343) at org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.session.SessionState.<init>(SessionState.java:334) at org.apache.hadoop.hive.cli.CliSessionState.<init>(CliSessionState.java:60) {noformat} This happens because of the following bit: {noformat} // If HIVE_HOME is not defined or file is not found in HIVE_HOME/conf then load default ivysettings.xml from class loader if (ivysettingsPath == null || !(new File(ivysettingsPath).exists())) { ivysettingsPath = ClassLoader.getSystemResource("ivysettings.xml").getFile(); _console.printInfo("ivysettings.xml file not found in HIVE_HOME or HIVE_CONF_DIR," + ivysettingsPath + " will be used"); } {noformat} This makes it so that an attempt to instantiate CliSessionState without an ivysettings.xml file will cause hive to fail with an NPE. Hive should not have a hard dependency on a ivysettings,xml being present, and this feature should gracefully fail in that case instead. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
