[jira] [Commented] (HIVE-16944) schematool -dbType hive should give some more feedback/assistance

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-16944?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=16420181#comment-16420181 ] 

Bharathkrishna Guruvayoor Murali commented on HIVE-16944:
---------------------------------------------------------

Not able to reproduce the NPE when I give:
{code:java}
$ ./schematool -metaDbType mysql -dbType hive -initSchema
{code}
But schematool does fail because it is not able to interpret the query for initialization properly.

Hence, providing feedback in schematool when the options url/driver are missing when metaDbType is used.

> Given the other ways schematool is used, the most obvious guess I would have for initializing the Hive schema is:
> {code}
> schematool -metaDbType mysql -dbType hive -initSchema
> {code}
> Unfortunately that fails with this NPE:
> {code}
> Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException

> If the user does not supply these for dbType hive, schematool should detect and error out appropriately, plus give an example of what it's looking for.
