             Summary: NPE In MetaDataFormatters
                 Key: HIVE-19424
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-19424
             Project: Hive
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: HiveServer2, Metastore, Standalone Metastore
    Affects Versions: 3.0.0, 2.4.0
            Reporter: BELUGA BEHR


h2. Overview

According to the Hive Schema definition, a table's {{INPUT_FORMAT}} class can 
be set to NULL.  However, there are places in the code where we do not account 
for this NULL value, in particular the {{MetaDataFormatters}} classes 
{{TextMetaDataFormatter}} and {{JsonMetaDataFormatter}}.  In addition, there is 
no debug level logging in the {{MetaDataFormatters}} classes to tell me which 
table in particular is causing the problem.

{code:sql|title=hive-schema-2.2.0.mysql.sql}
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `SDS` (
  `SD_ID` bigint(20) NOT NULL,
  `CD_ID` bigint(20) DEFAULT NULL,
  `INPUT_FORMAT` varchar(4000) CHARACTER SET latin1 COLLATE latin1_bin DEFAULT 
NULL,
  `IS_COMPRESSED` bit(1) NOT NULL,
...
{code}

{code:java|title=TextMetaDataFormatter.java}
// Not checking for a null return from getInputFormatClass
inputFormattCls = par.getInputFormatClass().getName();
outputFormattCls = par.getOutputFormatClass().getName();
{code}

h2. Reproduction

{code:sql}
-- MySQL Backend
update SDS SET INPUT_FORMAT=NULL WHERE SD_ID=XXX;
{code}

{code}
// Hive
SHOW TABLE EXTENDED FROM default LIKE '*';
