Question

I am using HIve branch-4.0.0-alpha-1 , I have placed iceberg-hive-runtime-1.6.0-SNAPSHOT.jar jar in hive/lib/ dir.
Also made all the required configurations, but when I am trying to create an external table SORTED by iceberg using hive, it is throwing :
org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.metadata.HiveException: java.lang.NullPointerException
ERROR : DDLTask failed, DDL Operation: class org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.ddl.table.create.CreateTableOperation
ERROR : FAILED: Execution Error, return code 40000 from org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.ddl.DDLTask. java.lang.NullPointerException

Hive 4 uses its own embedded Iceberg. You don't need to add additional jars to the lib.

Also this is most probably a Hive related questions, so better asked on the Hive user list.
