• Type: Bug
• Status: Closed
• Priority: Critical
• Resolution: Fixed
• Affects Version/s: 2.1.0

• Component/s: Metastore

Environment

Description

Steps to reproduce:

1. Configure remote metastore (hive.metastore.uris)
2. Create table t1 (a string);
3. Create table t2 (a string) partitioned by (b string);
4. set hive.exec.dynamic.partition.mode=nonstrict;
5. Insert overwrite table t2 partition (b) select a,a from t1;

Result:

FAILED: SemanticException org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.metadata.HiveException: org.apache.thrift.TApplicationException: getMetaConf failed: unknown result

During construction of DynamicPartitionCtx it tries to read “hive.metastore.partition.name.whitelist.pattern” from the metastore. If no value is configured in hive-site.xml then NULL will be returned. Thrift considers NULL as invalid result and fails with an exception.
