Kevin Wilfong commented on HIVE-1054:
-------------------------------------
@Ashutosh
What if we only allow changing the type of a partition column?
I agree adding/dropping/renaming partition columns has a host of difficulties
to manage, but I thought changing a partition column's type shouldn't involve a
change in hdfs, simply a metadata change.
> "CHANGE COLUMN" does not support changing partition column types.
