Pengcheng Xiong commented on HIVE-16349: ---------------------------------------- [~thejas], may i ask why "operations like those on partitions don't make sense on non native tables."? non native tables are the tables use special storage handlers, e.g., HBaseStorageHandler. This has nothing to do with the logical table properties, e.g., whether they are partitioned or not. [~ashutoshc] is pushing to enable every DDL on native tables to non-native tables. > Enable DDL statement for non-native tables > ------------------------------------------ > > Key: HIVE-16349 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-16349 > Project: Hive > Issue Type: New Feature > Reporter: Pengcheng Xiong > Assignee: Pengcheng Xiong > Attachments: HIVE-16349.01.patch > > -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.15#6346)
