Carl Steinbach commented on HIVE-3148:
--------------------------------------
The ability to specify the location of partitions on a per-partition basis was
added in HIVE-91. Unfortunately, if you specify more than one partition in the
same statement, the second partition and all subsequent partitions will have
the same storage location as the first partition:
{noformat}
hive> CREATE TABLE t(x INT) PARTITIONED BY (p INT);
OK
hive> ALTER TABLE t ADD
PARTITION (p=1) LOCATION '/Users/carl/1'
PARTITION (p=2) LOCATION '/Users/carl/2';
OK
hive> DESCRIBE FORMATTED t PARTITION(p=1);
OK
...
Location: file:/Users/carl/1
...
hive> DESCRIBE FORMATTED t PARTITION(p=2);
OK
Location: file:/Users/carl/1 <----- WRONG!
hive>
{noformat}
> LOCATION clause is not honored when adding multiple partitions
