> inside setInputFormatClass, we're doing:
> {noformat}
>  public void setInputFormatClass(Class<? extends InputFormat> inputFormatClass) {
>     this.inputFormatClass = inputFormatClass;
>     tPartition.getSd().setInputFormat(inputFormatClass.getName());
>   }
> {noformat}
> But inside setOutputFormatClass, we're doing toString for class, instead of getName().
> {noformat}
>   public void setOutputFormatClass(Class<? extends HiveOutputFormat> outputFormatClass) {
>     this.outputFormatClass = outputFormatClass;
>     tPartition.getSd().setOutputFormat(HiveFileFormatUtils
>         .getOutputFormatSubstitute(outputFormatClass).toString());
>   }
> {noformat}
> Difference is that, for Class A.class, toString is "class A.class", getName is "A.class". So Class.forName(cls.getName()) succeeds, but Class.forName(cls.toString()) is not valid. 
> So if you get a partition, set outputformat, and make an alter call, then get the partition again and make a getOutputFormatClass call on that object, it throws a ClassNotFoundException on https://github.com/apache/hive/blob/master/ql/src/java/org/apache/hadoop/hive/ql/metadata/Partition.java#L316, because it's basically calling Class.forName("class a.b.c.ClassName.class") which is wrong!
