Hive endpoint is empty

Error message

Hive endpoint is empty

What it means

parseEndpoint is given an empty (after trimming whitespace) endpoint string while building the endpoint list for a Hive connection. The parser refuses to create a zero-value endpoint so connections fail with a clear message instead of dialing an invalid address.

Solutions

1. Remove empty entries and stray commas from the hosts/endpoints list.
2. Set a real host for the entry, e.g. hive01.example.com:10000.
3. Trim the parameter source so whitespace-only values become empty and are dropped before parsing.

Example fix

// before
HIVE_HOSTS="hive01,,hive02"
// after
HIVE_HOSTS="hive01:10000,hive02:10000"

func sanitizeHosts(list string) []string {
    var out []string
    for _, h := range strings.Split(list, ",") {
        if h = strings.TrimSpace(h); h != "" {
            out = append(out, h)
        }
    }
    return out
}

When it happens

Trigger: A hosts/endpoints list containing an empty entry (e.g. 'host1,,host2' or a trailing comma 'host1,'), a hosts parameter set to only spaces, or splitting behavior that yields empty strings between separators.

Common situations: Environment variables like HIVE_HOSTS="" or with stray commas, config files where users removed a host but left the delimiter, template-generated host lists with unfilled slots.
