Description
Attempting to use the Derby ClientDriver will cause a null pointer exception because derbyclient.jar and derbytools.jar are not in lib.
hive> show tables;
08/10/02 15:17:12 INFO hive.metastore: Trying to connect to metastore
with URI jdbc:derby://nyhadoop1:1527/metastore_db
FAILED: Error in semantic analysis: java.lang.NullPointerException
08/10/02 15:17:12 ERROR ql.Driver: FAILED: Error in semantic analysis:
java.lang.NullPointerException
derbyclient.jar and derbytools.jar should probably be put in the hive/lib directory. Also this type of exception could happen often with different JDBC libraries the exception should be trapped better
