> Improve location validator to check for blank paths.

> Key: HIVE-16729
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-16729
> Project: Hive
> Issue Type: Sub-task
> Components: Hive
> Affects Versions: 3.0.0
> Reporter: Naveen Gangam
> Assignee: Naveen Gangam
> Priority: Minor
>
> Currently, the schema tool location validator succeeds even when the location
> for hive table/partitions have paths like
> hdfs://myhost.com:8020/
> hdfs://myhost.com:8020
> where there is actually no "real" path. Having the validator report such path
> would be beneficial in preventing runtime errors.
