--------------------------------
Summary: Alter table partition rename with location - moves
partition back to hive warehouse
Key: HIVE-16287
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-16287
Project: Hive
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Metastore
Affects Versions: 2.1.0
Environment: RHEL 6.8
Reporter: Ying Chen
Priority: Minor
I was renaming my partition in a table that I've created using the location
clause, and noticed that when after rename is completed, my partition is moved
to the hive warehouse (hive.metastore.warehouse.dir).
{quote}
create table test_local_part (col1 int) partitioned by (col2 int) location
'/tmp/testtable/test_local_part';
insert into test_local_part partition (col2=1) values (1),(3);
insert into test_local_part partition (col2=2) values (3);
alter table test_local_part partition (col2='1') rename to partition (col2='4');
{quote}
Running:
{{describe formatted test_local_part partition (col2='2')}}
