> Insert Overwrite table db.tname fails if partition already exists.
> For example-
> insert overwrite table db.tname PARTITION(part='p') select .. from t2 where
> part='p'; fails if partition 'p' already exists. Workaround is - use db; and
> the fire the command.
> From the source code-
> alterPartition(tbl.getTableName(), new Partition(tbl, tpart)); takes String
> tablename as argument and loses db information. Table table =
> newTable(tablename) is called to retrieve table from name. But, it relies on
> currentDatabase value (hence the workaround).
