["Shawn Weeks (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-16116?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=16578878#comment-16578878 ] 

Shawn Weeks commented on HIVE-16116:
------------------------------------

In case anyone else runs across this. This error will also occur if this line is set in beeline.properties  "beeline.hiveconfvariables="  it doesn't have to have the brackets and it might NPE on line 679. I've been dealing with an issue in Oozie due to this for a week.

> Env: hive master
> Steps to reproduce:
> 1. clear previous beeline.properties (rm -rf ~/.beeline/beeline.properties)
> 2. Launch beeline, "!save" and exit. This would create new "~/.beeline/beeline.properties", which would have "beeline.hiveconfvariables={}"
> 3. Launch "beeline --hiveconf hive.tmp.dir=/tmp". This would throw NPE
