Alter table always throws an unhelpful error on failure
-------------------------------------------------------
Key: HIVE-2338
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-2338
Project: Hive
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Metastore
Reporter: Sohan Jain
Assignee: Sohan Jain
Priority: Minor
Every failure in an alter table function always return a MetaException. When
altering tables and catching exceptions, we throw a MetaException in the
"finally" part of a try-catch-finally block, which overrides any other
exceptions thrown.
