    HIVE-18130: Update table path to storage parameters when alter a table

    When an managed table is created by Spark, table path information is not 
only store in `location` field (first figure), but also in `parameters.path` 
fields (second figure).

    When hive alter a table, `storage parameter` is ignored. Then, spark cannot 
access the table anymore because spark use the parameter.
    
    In this PR, when altering a table, the field 
`storageDescription.parameters.path` is also updated, if `path` key exists
