While creating an external table if I do not add a partition, I am able to read files using following format: CREATE external TABLE event ROW FORMAT SERDE 'org.apache.hadoop.hive.serde2.avro.AvroSerDe' STORED AS INPUTFORMAT 'org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.io.avro.AvroContainerInputFormat' OUTPUTFORMAT 'org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.io.avro.AvroContainerOutputFormat' LOCATION 's3n://test-event/input/2013/14/10' TBLPROPERTIES ('avro.schema.literal' = '..some schema..'); but if I add a partition based on date CREATE external TABLE event PARTITIONED BY (ds STRING) ROW FORMAT SERDE 'org.apache.hadoop.hive.serde2.avro.AvroSerDe' STORED AS INPUTFORMAT 'org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.io.avro.AvroContainerInputFormat' OUTPUTFORMAT 'org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.io.avro.AvroContainerOutputFormat' LOCATION 's3n://test-event/input/' TBLPROPERTIES ('avro.schema.literal' = '..some schema..'); ALTER TABLE event ADD IF NOT EXISTS PARTITION (ds = '2013_12_16') LOCATION '2013/12/16/'; I get the following exception: java.io.IOException:org.apache.hadoop.hive.serde2.avro.BadSchemaException -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.1.4#6159)
