ql.metadata.Hive#close() should check for null metaStoreClient --------------------------------------------------------------
Key: HIVE-1261 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-1261 Project: Hadoop Hive Issue Type: Bug Components: Query Processor Reporter: bc Wong {{ql.metadata.Hive#close()}} always does a {{metaStoreClient.close()}}, even though it might be null. I'd like to reuse the same thread for multiple queries from different users. Since it's a different user, {{HiveConf}} has a new ugi. But it's not easy to get rid of (or update) the cached {{ql.metadata.Hive}}. The cleanest way seems to be {{Hive.closeCurrent()}}, which unfortunately doesn't check for the {{metaStoreClient}} being {{null}}. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
