> {noformat}
> 0: jdbc:hive2://localhost:10000> alter table parttab1 drop partition (p1='def');        
> Error: Error while processing statement: FAILED: Execution Error, return code 1 from org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.exec.DDLTask. Unknown error. Please check logs. (state=08S01,code=1)
> {noformat}
> Some calls to get database and get table from metastore also treat all exceptions as an 'object does not exist' exception, and end up ignoring the errors.
