Brian Kessler created HIVE-9180:
-----------------------------------

             Summary: Input parsing failing for ALTER TABLE when database and table are specified
                 Key: HIVE-9180
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-9180
             Project: Hive
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: CLI
    Affects Versions: 0.12.0
         Environment: Cloudera Hadoop distribution CDH5.1.3
            Reporter: Brian Kessler
            Priority: Minor


The following appears to fail due to an input parsing error

ALTER TABLE database.table SET FILEFORMAT RCFile;

but can be worked around by using the database so it does not need to be explicitly specified in the command at the hive interpreter.

USE database;
ALTER TABLE table SET FILEFORMAT RCFile;

See below for stack trace followed by successful workaround.

hive> ALTER TABLE dev.bk_smp_advertiser_events_rcfile SET FILEFORMAT RCFile;
