Summary: Adding partitions with a custom location ignores the locations Key: HIVE-6975 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-6975 Project: Hive Issue Type: Bug Affects Versions: 0.12.0 Reporter: Calin-Andrei Burloiu Context: an external table with AvroSerDe which is partitioned by (month STRING, day STRING). Problem: if I run `ALTER TABLE my_table ADD PARTITION (month='201401', day='03') LOCATION 'hdfs://nameservice1/user/my_user/data/my_table/avro/201401/03';` hive uses the location "hdfs://nameservice1/user/my_user/data/my_table/avro/month=201401/day=03" -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.2#6252)
