             Summary: hive fails when hive.exec.mode.local.auto=true
                 Key: HIVE-9575
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-9575
             Project: Hive
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 0.14.0
         Environment: CentOS 6.5
            Reporter: David Watzke


Hello, we're using hive 0.14.0 with cloudera 5.3 and a problem occurs when we set hive.exec.mode.local.auto=true for running a small query. The query fails with this error:

java.lang.NullPointerException

but if we also set mapred.job.tracker=local, then it works fine.

Having to manually set mapred.job.tracker to 'local' kind of defies the purpose of the local.auto feature.
