Kevin Wilfong created HIVE-3281: ----------------------------------- Summary: Alter table ignores table/partition not existing in semantic analysis Key: HIVE-3281 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-3281 Project: Hive Issue Type: Bug Components: Logging, Query Processor Affects Versions: 0.10.0 Reporter: Kevin Wilfong Assignee: Kevin Wilfong Priority: Minor
In the method addInputsOutputsAlterTable in the DDLSemanticAnalyzer we get the table and partition being altered from the metastore. Failures to get these are quietly ignored, even though they resurface during query execution. We can throw a semantic exception here instead of ignoring them and save some time/resources. Also, by doing it here we save on retrieving the table/partition from the metastore since we're doing it here already. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
