该问题的主要原因是在读取orc表时，遇到有空文件时报错，bug记录地址：
SPARK-19809：NullPointerException on zero-size ORC file（https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-19809）
SPARK-29773：Unable to process empty ORC files in Hive Table using Spark SQL（https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-29773）
解决办法：使用参数spark.sql.hive.convertMetastoreOrc=true

spark的帮助文档种介绍如下：
ORC Files
Since Spark 2.3, Spark supports a vectorized ORC reader with a new ORC file format for ORC files. To do that, the following configurations are newly added. The vectorized reader is used for the native ORC tables (e.g., the ones created using the clause USING ORC) when spark.sql.orc.impl is set to native and spark.sql.orc.enableVectorizedReader is set to true. For the Hive ORC serde tables (e.g., the ones created using the clause USING HIVE OPTIONS (fileFormat 'ORC')), the vectorized reader is used when spark.sql.hive.convertMetastoreOrc is also set to true.
