Hi All I was trying to combine records of two tables using UNION ALL. One table testTableText is on TEXT format and another table testTableORC is on ORC format. It is failing with given error. It seems error related to input format.
Is it bug ? or ...... See the given scenario : *Hive Version : 1.0.0-- Create TEXT Table* create table testTableText(id int,name string)row format delimited fields terminated by ','; *-- Create ORC Table* create table testTableORC(id int ,name string ) clustered by (id) into 2 buckets stored as orc TBLPROPERTIES('transactional'='true'); *-- query with UNION * SELECT * FROM testTableORC UNION ALL SELECT * FROM testTableText ; *-- Error : * Query ID = cloud_20150618225656_fbad7df0-9063-478e-8b6e-f0631d9978e6 Total jobs = 1 Launching Job 1 out of 1 Number of reduce tasks is set to 0 since there's no reduce operator java.lang.NullPointerException at org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.io.HiveInputFormat.init(HiveInputFormat.java:265) at org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.io.CombineHiveInputFormat.getCombineSplits(CombineHiveInputFormat.java:272) at org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.io.CombineHiveInputFormat.getSplits(CombineHiveInputFormat.java:509) at org.apache.hadoop.mapreduce.JobSubmitter.writeOldSplits(JobSubmitter.java:624) at org.apache.hadoop.mapreduce.JobSubmitter.writeSplits(JobSubmitter.java:616) at org.apache.hadoop.mapreduce.JobSubmitter.submitJobInternal(JobSubmitter.java:492) at org.apache.hadoop.mapreduce.Job$10.run(Job.java:1296) at org.apache.hadoop.mapreduce.Job$10.run(Job.java:1293) at java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged(Native Method) at javax.security.auth.Subject.doAs(Subject.java:415) at org.apache.hadoop.security.UserGroupInformation.doAs(UserGroupInformation.java:1628) at org.apache.hadoop.mapreduce.Job.submit(Job.java:1293) at org.apache.hadoop.mapred.JobClient$1.run(JobClient.java:562) at org.apache.hadoop.mapred.JobClient$1.run(JobClient.java:557) at java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged(Native Method) at javax.security.auth.Subject.doAs(Subject.java:415) at org.apache.hadoop.security.UserGroupInformation.doAs(UserGroupInformation.java:1628) at org.apache.hadoop.mapred.JobClient.submitJobInternal(JobClient.java:557) at org.apache.hadoop.mapred.JobClient.submitJob(JobClient.java:548) at org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.exec.mr.ExecDriver.execute(ExecDriver.java:429) at org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.exec.mr.MapRedTask.execute(MapRedTask.java:137) at org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.exec.Task.executeTask(Task.java:160) at org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.exec.TaskRunner.runSequential(TaskRunner.java:85) at org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.Driver.launchTask(Driver.java:1604) at org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.Driver.execute(Driver.java:1364) at org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.Driver.runInternal(Driver.java:1177) at org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.Driver.run(Driver.java:1004) at org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.Driver.run(Driver.java:994) at org.apache.hadoop.hive.cli.CliDriver.processLocalCmd(CliDriver.java:201) at org.apache.hadoop.hive.cli.CliDriver.processCmd(CliDriver.java:153) at org.apache.hadoop.hive.cli.CliDriver.processLine(CliDriver.java:364) at org.apache.hadoop.hive.cli.CliDriver.executeDriver(CliDriver.java:712) at org.apache.hadoop.hive.cli.CliDriver.run(CliDriver.java:631) at org.apache.hadoop.hive.cli.CliDriver.main(CliDriver.java:570) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(Native Method) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(NativeMethodAccessorImpl.java:57) at sun.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.java:43) at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:606) at org.apache.hadoop.util.RunJar.run(RunJar.java:221) at org.apache.hadoop.util.RunJar.main(RunJar.java:136) Job Submission failed with exception 'java.lang.NullPointerException(null)' FAILED: Execution Error, return code 1 from org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.exec.mr.MapRedTask Regards Sanjiv Singh Mob : +091 9990-447-339
