["Ashutosh Chauhan (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-10495?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=16075657#comment-16075657 ] 

Ashutosh Chauhan commented on HIVE-10495:
-----------------------------------------

This can still result in NPE in startFunction, if indexTable is null. Also, there is similar logic for endFunction() We shall refactor this null check so that its useful for both function. [~libing] Would you like to update your patch with that change?
