Chinna Rao Lalam commented on HIVE-1872:
----------------------------------------
Here i have few doubts. Just returning 9 will solve the problem of exiting
jvm, but all the tasks (Mapred task and Non mapred task) that are running will
still continue to run if main thread is not returning (In case of HiveServer),
there by wasting the cluster resources. So the problem here is not only
exiting the JVM but also the running tasks. Any suggestions on this.

> 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}

> 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.
