Hari Sankar Sivarama Subramaniyan commented on HIVE-5376: --------------------------------------------------------- Thanks [~sershe] for marking it a duplicate of HIVE-6775. [~vikram.dixit]please let me know if you are working on this. > Hive does not honor type for partition columns when altering column type > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: HIVE-5376 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-5376 > Project: Hive > Issue Type: Bug > Components: CLI > Reporter: Sergey Shelukhin > Assignee: Vikram Dixit K > > Followup for HIVE-5297. If partition column of type string is changed to int, > the data is not verified. The values for partition columns are all in > metastore db, so it's easy to check and fail the type change. > alter_partition_coltype.q (or some other test?) checks this behavior right > now. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.2#6252)
