---------------------------------------

             Summary: Beeline throws NPE when beeline.hiveconfvariables={} in 
beeline.properties
                 Key: HIVE-16116
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-16116
             Project: Hive
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Beeline
            Reporter: Rajesh Balamohan
            Assignee: Rajesh Balamohan
            Priority: Minor


Env: hive master
Steps to reproduce:

1. clear previous beeline.properties (rm -rf ~/.beeline/beeline.properties)

2. Launch beeline, "!save" and exit. This would create new 
"~/.beeline/beeline.properties", which would have "beeline.hiveconfvariables={}"

3. Launch "beeline --hiveconf hive.tmp.dir=/tmp". This would throw NPE
