Navis commented on HIVE-2510: ----------------------------- Someone complained to me that EXPLAIN CREATE TABLE <existing-table> is executed successful, but EXPLAIN CTAS fails neither creating table is exist or selecting table is not exist. Should it be needed more consistent? > Hive throws Null Pointer Exception upon CREATE TABLE <db_name>.<table_name> > .... if the given <db_name> doesn't exist > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HIVE-2510 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-2510 > Project: Hive > Issue Type: Bug > Reporter: Robert Surówka > Assignee: Robert Surówka > Priority: Trivial > Fix For: 0.9.0 > > Attachments: HIVE-2510.1.patch, HIVE-2510.2.patch, HIVE-2510.3.patch, > HIVE-2510.4.patch, HIVE-2510.5.patch, HIVE-2510.6.patch > > -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
