------------------------------------
Hi Hyunsik ,
I am taking all the key=value as input but the value can of
specific type ( date , long float , double) and it will help us when user want
to drop the partition using comparison operator.
Initially I am setting everything as TEXT but would like convert it to specific
data type in LogicalPlanner. Do we have a utility to do that ?
I was planning to write one utility to use guava Ints , Floats etc to identify
the type. For date I will use Joda.
Let me know your thoughts.
Thanks!
Warm Regards,
Alvin.

> Currently, Tajo does not manage partitioned directly. In Tajo, each partition
> is just a directory. For each query, a logical planner traverses matched
> directories in HDFS according to partition predicates.
> This approach is not efficient especially in the environment where the number
> of partitions are very large. It also makes partition management hard.
> Tajo should manage partitions directly by using ALTER TABLE ADD/DROP
> PARTITION statements. A number of partition entries should be stored in the
> underlying database that catalog uses.
> {code:title=Synopsis of ALTER TABLE ADD/DROP PARTITION}
> ALTER TABLE table_name [IF NOT EXISTS] ADD COLUMN PARTITION (key1 = 'val2',
> key2 = 'val2', ...) WITH ('prop_key' = 'prop_val', ...) LOCATION '...';
> ALTER TABLE table_name [IF EXISTS] DROP COLUMN PARTITION (key1
> [=|<|<=|>|>=|!=] 'val1');
