Phabricator commented on HIVE-2870:
-----------------------------------
akramer has requested changes to the revision "HIVE-2870 [jira] Throw an error
when a nonexistent partition is accessed in strict mode".
> I checked the error message list and I see other errors advertise the
nonstrict mode in case the user really wants to run the operation. I'll change
the message.
Thanks. It is always better to do something right than wrong. Consistency
only matter when there are multiple "right" things to do or no "right" thing to
do.

> When a table does not exist and someone tries to read from it in a query,
> Hive throws an error.
> But if a partition is directly accessed that does not exist, an error is not
> thrown. This is inconsistent and also leads to a lot of confused users who
> get no output.
> This task is to cause Hive to throw an error when the partition pruner for a
> query eliminates ALL existing partitions for some table when running in
> strict mode.
