Zhe Sun edited comment on HIVE-18130 at 1/12/18 2:45 PM: --------------------------------------------------------- Dear committer, I fixed the related test failure `org.apache.hive.hcatalog.listener.TestDbNotificationListener.alterTable`. The rest test failures are unrelated. Do I need a test case for the piece of code I changed? Existing `testAlterTable` function doesn't test SerdrInfo field. Can you please help me a bit?
