[jira] [Commented] (HIVE-4095) Add exchange partition in Hive

["Lefty Leverenz (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-4095?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13819885#comment-13819885 ] 

Lefty Leverenz commented on HIVE-4095:
--------------------------------------

Now that Hive 0.12 is released I'd like to put this in the DDL wikidoc, but need clarification of the syntax.  The existing wikidoc [https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/Hive/Exchange+Partition] has two examples of "{{alter table T1 exchange partition (ds='1') with table T2}}" and says:

bq. moves the data from T2 to T1@ds=1. ... 

But this JIRA gives the syntax as "{{ALTER TABLE <source_table_name> EXCHANGE PARTITION <partition> WITH TABLE <dest_table_name>}}" which contradicts the doc, and explains: 

bq. This will take the partition from <partition> from <source_table_name> and will do an HDFS rename of the partition folder so that the partition now belongs to <dest_table_name>. It will also change the metadata to show that partition of <source_table_name> has been deleted and added to <dest_table_name>.

Can I assume the doc is wrong and the JIRA is correct?
