Description

Ran into this error message - "Error while compiling statement: FAILED: NullPointerException null " when I specified an incorrect tablename in the merge statement.

> create table src (col1 int,col2 int);
No rows affected (0.231 seconds)
> create table trgt (tcol1 int,tcol2 int);
No rows affected (0.182 seconds)
> insert into src values (1,232);

> merge into trgt using (select * from src) sub on sub.col1 = *invalidtablename.tcol1* when not matched then insert values (sub.col1,sub.col2);
Error: Error while compiling statement: FAILED: NullPointerException null (state=42000,code=40000)

> merge into trgt using (select * from src) sub on sub.col1 = *trgt.tcol1* when not matched then insert values (sub.col1,sub.col2);
