> When tables are created using {{HCatClient.createTable()}}, if the HCatTable's creation-comment is an empty string, the table creation fails spectacularly, with this guttural utterance: 
> {noformat}
> Exception in thread "main" org.apache.hive.hcatalog.common.HCatException : 9001 : Exception occurred while processing HCat request : MetaException while creating table.. Cause : MetaException(message:java.lang.NullPointerException: Null values not allowed in persistent maps.)

> This manifests with an Oracle backend, because an empty comment-string is stored in the table-properties map as a null-string. I've a patch that fixes this.
