Ashutosh Chauhan commented on HIVE-2510: ---------------------------------------- It would be better to check for table existence and db existence together in CTAS within analyzeCreateTable(). Its little awkward that we check for table existence first and db existence later. But, I don't you want you to force into doing another patch. Will leave it upto committers. Otherwise, looks good to me. > Hive throws Null Pointer Exception upon CREATE TABLE <db_name>.<table_name> > .... if the given <db_name> doesn't exist > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HIVE-2510 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-2510 > Project: Hive > Issue Type: Bug > Reporter: Robert Surówka > Assignee: Robert Surówka > Priority: Trivial > Attachments: HIVE-2510.1.patch, HIVE-2510.2.patch, HIVE-2510.3.patch, > HIVE-2510.4.patch, HIVE-2510.5.patch > > -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
