             Summary: Issue Exception when ALTER TABLE commands try to alter a VIEW
                 Key: SPARK-17440
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-17440
             Project: Spark
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: SQL
    Affects Versions: 2.1.0
            Reporter: Xiao Li


For the following `ALTER TABLE` DDL, we should issue an exception when the target table is a `VIEW`:
{code}
 ALTER TABLE viewName SET LOCATION '/path/to/your/lovely/heart'

 ALTER TABLE viewName SET SERDE 'whatever'

 ALTER TABLE viewName SET SERDEPROPERTIES ('x' = 'y')

 ALTER TABLE viewName PARTITION (a=1, b=2) SET SERDEPROPERTIES ('x' = 'y')

 ALTER TABLE viewName ADD IF NOT EXISTS PARTITION (a='4', b='8')

 ALTER TABLE viewName DROP IF EXISTS PARTITION (a='2')

 ALTER TABLE viewName RECOVER PARTITIONS

 ALTER TABLE viewName PARTITION (a='1', b='q') RENAME TO PARTITION (a='100', b='p')
{code}
