jinzheng created HIVE-20516:
-------------------------------
Summary: alter table drop partition should be compatible with old
metastore, as partition pruner does
Key: HIVE-20516
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-20516
Project: Hive
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Metastore
Affects Versions: 3.0.0
Environment: all
Reporter: jinzheng
Assignee: jinzheng
Fix For: 3.1.0
After the change of HIVE-4914, we always push the partition expression to
metastore, to avoid filtering partition by partition names.
And HIVE-4914 added some protection in Partition pruner, in case that
metastore may not have api of get_partitions_by_expr.
Therefore, we should also add similar protection to another calling point,
when dealing with "alter table drop partition".
