>             Project: IMPALA
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: Frontend
>    Affects Versions: Impala 3.3.0

> The Impala docs say this should work, however, I get an error:
> {code:java}
> alter table tbl_name add partition (i=3) set fileformat orc;{code}
> {code:java}
> ERROR: ParseException: Syntax error in line 1:
> ..._name add partition (i=3) set fileformat orc
>                              ^
> Encountered: SET
> Expected: CACHED, LOCATION, PARTITION, UNCACHEDCAUSED BY: Exception: Syntax error{code}
>  
> There is a workaround to create the partition first with the default fileformat of the table and in a separate step change the format:
> {code:java}
> alter tbl_name add partition (i=2);
> alter table tbl_name partition (i=2) set fileformat orc;
