Description

create a configuration file with the following:
set hive.metastore.ds.retry.interval=2000;
create table analyze_srcpart like srcpart;

run ant test -Dtestcase=TestCliDriver -Dqfile=<file>

NPE is thrown. See attached files.

Anything special for hive.metastore.ds.retry.interval?

It is a config listed under HiveConf.metaVars. Then, HiveConf.get(HiveConf c) will recreate a new conf while detecting a difference.
