    Description

      We are seeing the following exception in our MetaStore logs

      2016-02-11 00:00:19,002 DEBUG metastore.MetaStoreDirectSql (MetaStoreDirectSql.java:timingTrace(602)) - Direct SQL query in 5.842372ms + 1.066728ms, the query is [select "PARTITIONS"."PART_ID" from "PARTITIONS"  inner join "TBLS" on "PART

      This direct SQL call fails for every getPartitions call and then falls back to ORM.

      The query which fails is

      select 
        PARTITIONS.PART_ID, SDS.SD_ID, SDS.CD_ID,
        SERDES.SERDE_ID, PARTITIONS.CREATE_TIME,
        PARTITIONS.LAST_ACCESS_TIME, SDS.INPUT_FORMAT, SDS.IS_COMPRESSED,
        SDS.IS_STOREDASSUBDIRECTORIES, SDS.LOCATION, SDS.NUM_BUCKETS,
        SDS.OUTPUT_FORMAT, SERDES.NAME, SERDES.SLIB 
      from PARTITIONS
        left outer join SDS on PARTITIONS.SD_ID = SDS.SD_ID 
        left outer join SERDES on SDS.SERDE_ID = SERDES.SERDE_ID 
        where PART_ID in (  ?  ) order by PART_NAME asc;
      

      By looking at the source MetaStoreDirectSql.java, the third column in the query ( SDS.CD_ID), the column descriptor ID, is null, which triggers the exception. This exception is not thrown from the ORM layer since it is more forgiving to the null column descriptor. See ObjectStore.java:1197

       List<MFieldSchema> mFieldSchemas = msd.getCD() == null ? null : msd.getCD().getCols();
      

      I verified that this exception gets triggered in the first place when we add a new partition without setting column level schemas for the partition, using the MetaStoreClient API. This exception does not occur when adding partitions using the CLI

      I see two ways to solve the issue.
      1. Make the MetaStoreClient API more strict and not allow creating partition without having column level schemas set. (This could break clients which use the MetaStoreclient API)
      2. Make the Direct SQL code path and the ORM code path more consistent, where the Direct SQL does not fail on null column descriptor ID.

      I feel 2 is more safer and easier to fix.
