[jira] [Created] (HIVE-5641) BeeLineOpts ignores Throwable

[Brock Noland (JIRA)]

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

             Summary: BeeLineOpts ignores Throwable
                 Key: HIVE-5641
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-5641
             Project: Hive
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: Brock Noland


BeelineOpts has the following code:

{noformat}
    } catch (Throwable t) {
       return -1;
     }
{noformat}

which is bad. I believe it is there because the code called maybe buggy and 
throw such things as ArrayIndex or NoSuchElement etc.

I propose we:

1) catch exception, not throwable. Usage should remain the same without having 
a giant black hole
2) that we log the exception so we can figure out what is wrong with the 
underlying code
