Weiyan Wang updated HIVE-2562: ------------------------------ Attachment: HIVE-2562.patch keep the old api alter_partition, and add the new api alter_rename_partition. In the server side, alter_partition calls alter_rename_partition with part_vals = null Run the "ant test". Only load_fs.q fails, but after I revert the patch and run "ant clean package; ant test -Dtestcase=TestCliDriver -Dqfile=load_fs.q -Dtest.silent=false" it still fails. So I think it's not a bug introduced by my patch > HIVE-2247 Changed the Thrift API causing compatibility issues. > -------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HIVE-2562 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-2562 > Project: Hive > Issue Type: Bug > Reporter: Kevin Wilfong > Assignee: Weiyan Wang > Attachments: HIVE-2562.patch > > > HIVE-2247 Added a parameter to alter_partition in the Metastore Thrift API > which has been causing compatibility issues with some scripts. We would like > to change this to have two methods, one called alter_partition which takes > the old parameters, and one called something else (I'll leave the naming up > to you) which has the new parameters. The implementation of the old method > should just call the new method with null for the new parameter. > This will fix the compatibility issues. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
