Kevin Wilfong commented on HIVE-1054: ------------------------------------- @Ashutosh What if we only allow changing the type of a partition column? I agree adding/dropping/renaming partition columns has a host of difficulties to manage, but I thought changing a partition column's type shouldn't involve a change in hdfs, simply a metadata change. > "CHANGE COLUMN" does not support changing partition column types. > ----------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HIVE-1054 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-1054 > Project: Hive > Issue Type: Bug > Reporter: He Yongqiang > -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
