Mohit Sabharwal commented on HIVE-17008: ---------------------------------------- [~dan_impala_9180], the changes aren't clear to me, look like changes in indentation. Could you add a review board link ? Also, could you add the NPE stracktrace you are seeing to the description ? You also need a unit test here, perhaps in TestDbNotificationListener > HiveMetastore.drop_database can return NPE if database does not exist > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HIVE-17008 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-17008 > Project: Hive > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Metastore > Reporter: Dan Burkert > Assignee: Dan Burkert > Attachments: HIVE-17008.0.patch > > > When dropping a non-existent database, the HMS will still fire registered > {{DROP_DATABASE}} event listeners.
