[jira] [Commented] (HIVE-3576) Regression: ALTER TABLE DROP IF EXISTS PARTITION throws a SemanticException if Partition is not found

["Harsh J (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-3576?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13475878#comment-13475878 ] 

Harsh J commented on HIVE-3576:
-------------------------------

Sorry, let me explain with an example:

On 0.7.1:

{code}
hive> create table test(a string) partitioned by (dt string);
OK
Time taken: 21.049 seconds
hive> alter table test drop if exists partition(dt=2007);
OK
Time taken: 1.297 seconds
{code}

On 0.9.0:

{code}
hive> create table test(a string) partitioned by (dt string);
OK
Time taken: 2.133 seconds
hive> alter table test drop if exists partition(dt=2007);
FAILED: SemanticException [Error 10006]: Partition not found dt = 2007
{code}

Again, if we make sure to use 'strings', on 0.9.0, it works:

{code}
hive> alter table test drop if exists partition(dt='2007');
OK
Time taken: 0.684 seconds
{code}

> Doing a simple "{{ALTER TABLE testtable DROP IF EXISTS PARTITION(dt=NONEXISTENTPARTITION)}}" fails with a SemanticException of the 10006 kind (INVALID_PARTITION).
> This does not respect the {{hive.exec.drop.ignorenonexistent}} condition either, since there are no if-check-wraps around this area, when fetching partitions from the store.
