Carl Steinbach commented on HIVE-2394: -------------------------------------- It's possible to alter the properties of individual partitions using the ALTER TABLE statement, but we currently have very little test coverage for these scenarios. We should add tests (both positive and negative) for the following cases: ALTER TABLE tbl PARTITION partspec alter_op where alter_op == SET FILEFORMAT SET LOCATION SET TBLPROPERTIES (shouldn't work?) DROP PARTITION (shouldn't work) ADD PARTITION (shouldn't work) > Improve test coverage for ALTER TABLE PARTITION statements > ---------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HIVE-2394 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-2394 > Project: Hive > Issue Type: Test > Components: Metastore, Query Processor > Reporter: Carl Steinbach > Assignee: Carl Steinbach > -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
