> Hive does not consider the type of the partition column while writing
> partitions. Consider for example the query:
> {noformat}
> create table tab1 (id1 int, id2 string) PARTITIONED BY(month string,day int)
> row format delimited fields terminated by ',';
> alter table tab1 add partition (month='June', day='second');
> {noformat}
> Hive accepts this query. However if you try to select from this table and
> insert into another expecting schema match, it will insert nulls instead. We
> should throw an exception on such user error at the time the partition
> addition/load happens.
