> Support "alter table .. add/replace columns cascade"

> We often run into some issues like HIVE-6131which is due to inconsistent
> column descriptors between table and partitions after alter table.
> HIVE-8441/HIVE-7971 provided the flexibility to alter table at partition
> level. But most cases we have need change the table and partitions at same
> time. In addition, "alter table" is usually required prior to "alter table
> partition .." since querying table partition data is also through table.
> Instead of do that in two steps, here we provide a convenient ddl like "alter
> table ... cascade" to cascade table changes to partitions as well. The
> changes are only limited and applicable to add/replace columns and change
> column name, datatype, position and comment.
