-----------------------------------
Summary: Fix in HIVE-22889 introduced NPE when using non-WebHCat
HCat components
Key: HIVE-24782
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-24782
Project: Hive
Issue Type: Bug
Components: HCatalog
Reporter: Jason Phelps
In HIVE-22889, it introduced the following lines:
{code:java}
// remove the leading and trailing quotes. hcatalog can miss on some cases.
if (execString.length() > 1 && execString.startsWith("\"") &&
execString.endsWith("\"")) {
execString = execString.substring(1, execString.length() - 1);
}
{code}
When calling Sqoop HCat jobs, or the HCat CLI, it will through an NPE because
execString is null but not wrapped in the handy Null check that is nearby
{code:java}
if (execString != null) {
{code}
