He Yongqiang commented on HIVE-1514: ------------------------------------ I updated the wiki page here : http://wiki.apache.org/hadoop/Hive/LanguageManual/DDL#Alter_Table.2BAC8-Partition_Location This only change the metadata. With this patch, you will be able to let the partition point to some external places, and use a new fileformat. If the metadata you specified is correct, you will be able to do that. > Be able to modify a partition's fileformat and file location information. > ------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HIVE-1514 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-1514 > Project: Hadoop Hive > Issue Type: New Feature > Reporter: He Yongqiang > Assignee: He Yongqiang > Attachments: hive-1514.1.patch, hive-1514.2.patch, hive-1514.3.patch > > -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
