Alan Gates commented on HIVE-9550: ---------------------------------- +1 > ObjectStore.getNextNotification() can return events inside > NotificationEventResponse as null which conflicts with its thrift "required" > tag > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HIVE-9550 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-9550 > Project: Hive > Issue Type: Bug > Reporter: Sushanth Sowmyan > Assignee: Sushanth Sowmyan > Attachments: HIVE-9550.patch > > > Per hive_metastore.thrift, the "events" list inside NotificationEventResponse > is a required field that cannot be null. > {code} > struct NotificationEventResponse { > 1: required list<NotificationEvent> events, > } > {code} > However, per ObjectStore.java, this events field can be uninitialized if the > events retrieved from the metastore is empty instead of null: > {code} > NotificationEventResponse result = new NotificationEventResponse(); > int maxEvents = rqst.getMaxEvents() > 0 ? rqst.getMaxEvents() : > Integer.MAX_VALUE; > int numEvents = 0; > while (i.hasNext() && numEvents++ < maxEvents) { > result.addToEvents(translateDbToThrift(i.next())); > } > return result; > {code} > The fix is simple enough - we need to call result.setEvents(new > ArrayList<NotificationEvent>()) before we begin the iteration to do > result.addToEvents(...). -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
