------------------------------------

             Summary: NullPointerException might occur when create table
                 Key: HIVE-15329
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-15329
             Project: Hive
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Metastore
    Affects Versions: 2.1.0, 2.0.0, 1.1.0, 1.2.0, 1.0.0, 0.9.0, 0.8.0
            Reporter: Meilong Huang
            Assignee: Meilong Huang


NullPointerException might occur when table.getParameters() returns null when 
method isNonNativeTable is invoked in class MetaStoreUtils.

public static boolean isNonNativeTable(Table table) {
    if (table == null) {
      return false;
    }
    return 
(table.getParameters().get(hive_metastoreConstants.META_TABLE_STORAGE) != null);
  }

This will cause a stack trace without any suggestive information at client:
org.apache.hadoop.hive.metastore.api.MetaException: 
java.lang.NullPointerException
        at 
org.apache.hadoop.hive.metastore.api.ThriftHiveMetastore$create_table_with_environment_context_result$create_table_with_environment_context_resultStandardScheme.read...
