Alan Gates commented on HIVE-10595: ----------------------------------- [~sushanth], I'd like to add this to 1.2 as it can jam the compactor. It's already patch available, so I should be able to get it in quickly. [~ekoifman], would you have time to review this? > Dropping a table can cause NPEs in the compactor > ------------------------------------------------ > > Key: HIVE-10595 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-10595 > Project: Hive > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Metastore > Affects Versions: 0.14.0, 1.0.0, 1.1.0 > Reporter: Alan Gates > Assignee: Alan Gates > Attachments: HIVE-10595.patch > > > Reproduction: > # start metastore with compactor off > # insert enough entries in a table to trigger a compaction > # drop the table > # stop metastore > # restart metastore with compactor on > Result: NPE in the compactor threads. I suspect this would also happen if > the inserts and drops were done in between a run of the compactor, but I > haven't proven it. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
