bug when different partitions are present in different dfs
----------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: HIVE-1707
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-1707
             Project: Hadoop Hive
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Query Processor
            Reporter: Namit Jain
            Assignee: He Yongqiang
             Fix For: 0.7.0


The following does not work:

create table T -> default location dfs1
insert overwrite T partition (ds='1') select * from src;

alter table T location 'dfs2';
insert overwrite T partition (ds='1') select * from src;


It tries to insert back in dfs1 - due to which the move task fails.
It would be cleaner to keep the same semantics as fileformat - whenever a 
partition is being inserted into, it
inherits the properties from the table. So, after the insert, the partition 
should belong to dfs1.
It does not matter whether the partition exists before or not,.
