[jira] [Commented] (HIVE-20034) Roll back MetaStore exception handling changes for backward compatibility

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-20034?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=16527337#comment-16527337 ] 

Peter Vary commented on HIVE-20034:
-----------------------------------

This line is caused the change in exceptions:

[https://github.com/apache/hive/commit/99cb7c005d51c693089cc4144f8e8c40bce8c424#diff-3d07754b1de8dc5a50a3395b7d6f9045R3567]
{code:java}
this.dbName = (dbName != null) ? normalizeIdentifier(dbName) : null;{code}
The line above works for {{null}} dbName too, so we throw {{NoSuchObjectException}}, whereas previously the {{NullPointerException}} was thrown
