Description

The TestDropPartitions tests revealed that NPE is thrown if the dropPartition(String db_name, String tbl_name, List<String> part_vals, PartitionDropOptions options) method is called with null options and with a part_vals list which contains null elements.

Example: NPE is thrown in the following test cases

• testDropPartitionNullPartDropOptions
• testDropPartitionNullVal
