Shengsheng Huang commented on HIVE-3148: ---------------------------------------- I dumped the AST of the ALTER command using explain, and found it already build the wrong node, as below. (TOK_ALTERTABLE_ADDPARTS t (TOK_PARTSPEC (TOK_PARTVAL p 1)) (TOK_PARTITIONLOCATION '/Users/carl/1') (TOK_PARTSPEC (TOK_PARTVAL p 2)) (TOK_PARTITIONLOCATION '/Users/carl/1')) In the above AST, TOK_PARTSPEC (specification of partition) and TOK_PARTITIONLOCATION (partition location) nodes are all siblings, which does not make much sense to me. So in my patch I rearranged the AST a bit by attaching the TOK_PARTITIONLOCATION to TOK_PARTSPEC node, as below: (TOK_ALTERTABLE_ADDPARTS t (TOK_PARTSPEC (TOK_PARTVAL p 1) (TOK_PARTITIONLOCATION '/Users/carl/1')) (TOK_PARTSPEC (TOK_PARTVAL p 2) (TOK_PARTITIONLOCATION '/Users/carl/2'))) This way locations can correctly identified and analyzed. > LOCATION clause is not honored when adding multiple partitions > -------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HIVE-3148 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-3148 > Project: Hive > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Metastore, Query Processor > Affects Versions: 0.4.0, 0.5.0, 0.6.0, 0.7.0, 0.8.0, 0.9.0 > Reporter: Carl Steinbach > Attachments: 3148.for0.9.0.patch > > -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
