> *Issue*
> Some api in ObjectStore invoke getMTable() but not check that if the returned
> value is null, which caused the NPE, like addPartitions(), addPartition(),
> alterPartition() et.
> *Reason*
> Such api described above will check that whether the table exists in
> HMSHandler (first check), but if the table is dropped by other threads after
> the first check, the NPE will happen.
> The simple idea is that we can check the table each time we get from
> getMTable().
> *Stack example*
