Xiaobing Zhou commented on HIVE-8169:
-------------------------------------
Investigated and found issue comes from line 362 of
org.apache.hive.hcatalog.cli.SemanticAnalysis.HCatSemanticAnalyzer. In function
authorizeDDLWork, hive.getTable tries to use default and
default.hcat_altertable_16 are used as dbname and tablename to query table
metadata, eventually, default.default.hcat_altertable_16 is the full table name
used for query, causing failure like NoSuchObjectException which is cast to
NullPointerException in upstream path.
> Windows: alter table ..set location from hcatalog failed with
> NullPointerException
