             Summary: Renaming a nonexisting partition should not throw out NullPointerException
                 Key: HIVE-9975
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-9975
             Project: Hive
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: Chaoyu Tang
            Assignee: Chaoyu Tang
            Priority: Minor


Renaming a nonexisting partition should not throw out NullPointerException. 
create table testpart (col1 int, col2 string, col3 string) partitioned by (part string);
alter table testpart partition (part = 'nonexisting') rename to partition (part = 'existing');
we get NPE like following:
