             Summary: Alter table partition rename with location - moves partition back to hive warehouse
                 Key: HIVE-16287
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-16287
             Project: Hive
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Metastore
    Affects Versions: 2.1.0
         Environment: RHEL 6.8 
            Reporter: Ying Chen
            Priority: Minor


I was renaming my partition in a table that I've created using the location clause, and noticed that when after rename is completed, my partition is moved to the hive warehouse (hive.metastore.warehouse.dir).

{quote}
create table test_local_part (col1 int) partitioned by (col2 int) location '/tmp/testtable/test_local_part';
insert into test_local_part  partition (col2=1) values (1),(3);
insert into test_local_part  partition (col2=2) values (3);
alter table test_local_part partition (col2='1') rename to partition (col2='4');
{quote}

Running: 
  {{describe formatted test_local_part partition (col2='2')}}
