Adam Kramer updated HIVE-2826:
------------------------------
Priority: Minor (was: Major)
> ALTER VIEW ADD (IF NOT EXISTS) PARTITION syntax is bad.
> -------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: HIVE-2826
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-2826
> Project: Hive
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Adam Kramer
> Priority: Minor
>
> The syntax, ALTER TABLE x ADD IF NOT EXISTS PARTITION, puts the "IF NOT
> EXISTS" before the subject of the statement. Not only is this weird grammar,
> but it is also inconsistent with other uses of "IF NOT EXISTS", for example,
> "CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS" and "DROP TABLE IF EXISTS".
> It would be a minor improvement to align the syntaxes.
