[jira] [Created] (HIVE-5496) hcat -e "drop database if exists" fails on authorizing non-existent null db

Sushanth Sowmyan created HIVE-5496:
--------------------------------------

             Summary: hcat -e "drop database if exists" fails on authorizing non-existent null db
                 Key: HIVE-5496
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-5496
             Project: Hive
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Authorization, HCatalog
            Reporter: Sushanth Sowmyan
            Assignee: Sushanth Sowmyan


When running a "drop database if exists" call on hcat commandline, it fails authorization with a NPE because it tries to authorize access to a null database. This should be changed to not call authorize if the db for the DropDatabaseDesc is null.
