Hive process is exiting on executing ALTER query
------------------------------------------------
Key: HIVE-1872
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-1872
Project: Hive
Issue Type: Bug
Components: CLI, Server Infrastructure
Affects Versions: 0.6.0
Environment: SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 SP2 (i586) - Kernel
2.6.16.60-0.21-smp (3)
Hadoop 0.20.1
Hive 0.6.0
Reporter: Bharath R
Fix For: 0.6.0
Hive process is exiting on executing the below queries in the same order as
mentioned
1) CREATE TABLE SAMPLETABLE(IP STRING , showtime BIGINT ) partitioned by (ds
string,ipz int) ROW FORMAT DELIMITED FIELDS TERMINATED BY '\040'
2) ALTER TABLE SAMPLETABLE add Partition(ds='sf') location
'/user/hive/warehouse' Partition(ipz=100) location '/user/hive/warehouse'
After the second query execution , the hive throws the below exception and
exiting the process
10:09:03 ERROR exec.DDLTask: FAILED: Error in metadata: table is partitioned
but partition spec is not specified or tab: {ipz=100}
org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.metadata.HiveException: table is partitioned but
partition spec is not specified or tab: {ipz=100}

As the "alter" query is incorrect the exception was thrown, ideally it should
be "ALTER TABLE SAMPLETABLE add Partition(ds='sf',ipz=100) location
'/user/hive/warehouse'".
It is not good to exit the HIVE process when the query is incorrect.
