>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-15715
>             Project: Spark
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: SQL
>    Affects Versions: 2.0.0

> In HiveClientImpl
> {code}
>   private def toHivePartition(
>       p: CatalogTablePartition,
>       ht: HiveTable): HivePartition = {
>     new HivePartition(ht, p.spec.asJava, p.storage.locationUri.map { l => new Path(l) }.orNull)
>   }
> {code}
> Other than the location, we don't even store any of the storage information in the metastore: output format, input format, serde, serde props. The result is that doing something like the following doesn't actually do anything:
> {code}
> ALTER TABLE boxes PARTITION (width=3)
>     SET SERDE 'com.sparkbricks.serde.ColumnarSerDe'
>     WITH SERDEPROPERTIES ('compress'='true')
> {code}
