Hi I'm experiencing a strange behaviour with hive-0.9.0. Accessing it through JDBC driver and using ALTER statements causes the session to break. Specifically, the first successful ALTER breaks it.
Steps to reproduce: alter table xyz add partition (dt='1'); alter table xyz add partition (dt='2'); the alter commands should be successful, if the partition exists and hive throws an error, than you can call it many times. Is this a known issue? Is there some kind of workaround? Regards Marcin
