--------------------------------------
Summary: partition column type validation doesn't work in some
cases
Key: HIVE-5685
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-5685
Project: Hive
Issue Type: Bug
Reporter: Sergey Shelukhin
Assignee: Vikram Dixit K
It seems like it works if there's more than one partition column, and doesn't
work if there's just one. At least that's the case that I found. The situation
for different types is the same.

FAILED: SemanticException [Error 10248]: Cannot add partition column i of type
string as it cannot be converted to type int
hive> alter table zzzz add partition (i=5,j='foo');
FAILED: SemanticException [Error 10248]: Cannot add partition column j of type
string as it cannot be converted to type int
