Brock Noland commented on HIVE-8136:
------------------------------------
{{ADDCLUSTERSORTCOLUMN }} is not used by many people so there isn't much
benefit there.
I was suggestion that the following:
{{alter table add partition}}
{{alter table [part...] set location}}
may not need an exclusive lock. Can you share why we need a lock when adding a
partition?
> Reduce table locking

> When using ZK for concurrency control, some statements require an exclusive
> table lock when they are atomic. Such as setting a tables location.
> This JIRA is to analyze the scope of statements like ALTER TABLE and see if
> we can reduce the locking required.
