ALTER TABLE ADD PARTITION needs IF NOT EXISTS.
----------------------------------------------
Key: HIVE-2826
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-2826
Project: Hive
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: Adam Kramer
When trying to add a partition, if the partition already exists, we shouldn't
necessarily cause the job to fail...just like we have CREATE TABLE IF NOT
EXISTS and DROP TABLE IF EXISTS, we should have ALTER TABLE foo ADD PARTITION
IF NOT EXISTS (ds=whatever).
Ditto for ALTER VIEW.
