Sreekanth Ramakrishnan commented on HIVE-1633: ---------------------------------------------- This problem is caused in following scenario: * {{NameNode}} is running on default port {{8020}} * The data which is to be processed has atleast one empty partition. The logic how empty partition is dealt is by creating an {{emptyFile}} in the scratch directory. So when {{NameNode}} runs on default port, the URI which {{NameNode}} passes on does not contain the port information in authority part. Whereas typically the configuration for hive scratch directory contains the port information. This causes this issue. > CombineHiveInputFormat fails with "cannot find dir for emptyFile" > ----------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HIVE-1633 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-1633 > Project: Hadoop Hive > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Clients > Reporter: Amareshwari Sriramadasu > Assignee: Amareshwari Sriramadasu > -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
