[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=16426637#comment-16426637 ] 

Peter Vary commented on HIVE-16944:
-----------------------------------

Thanks for the patch [~bharos92]!

Is the URL, and the driver is only needed when the dbType is hive?

If you have time, it would be good to update the [https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/Hive/Hive+Schema+Tool] page with the new parameters and usages. I know you are not the one who added them, but it would be good to have anyway.

Thanks,

Peter

> 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

> Two additional arguments are needed:
> -url jdbc:hive2://localhost:10000/default -driver org.apache.hive.jdbc.HiveDriver
> 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.
