Based on this discussion only I went ahead allowing any string partition name. **My understanding is this**: If user is adding a string partition name in non-string column then its user's responsibility and he should be consistent with the default partition name for that table. As DEFAULT PARTITION is configurable at session level, we can't stop user from changing it / playing around. Imposing checks done in your current PR will be a breaking change b/w 4.0.1 and next hive release version and forcing users to set this on cluster level `hive.msck.path.validation=skip` from what I can infer from modified msck_repair_9.q -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
