Sergey Shelukhin commented on HIVE-17832: ----------------------------------------- I think this is by design that it cannot be changed. This is a correctness setting that should only be settable by administrator. > Allow hive.metastore.disallow.incompatible.col.type.changes to be changed in > metastore > -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HIVE-17832 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-17832 > Project: Hive > Issue Type: Bug > Affects Versions: 2.1.1 > Reporter: Janaki Lahorani > Assignee: Janaki Lahorani > Fix For: 3.0.0 > > Attachments: HIVE17832.1.patch, HIVE17832.2.patch > > > hive.metastore.disallow.incompatible.col.type.changes when set to true, will > disallow incompatible column type changes through alter table.
