Shark drop table partitions
Hi
Is there any way to drop all or subset of partitions of table in one run??
In hive we have
To drop a partition from a Hive table, this works:
ALTER TABLE foo DROP PARTITION(ds = 'date')
...but it should also work to drop all partitions prior to date.
ALTER TABLE foo DROP PARTITION(ds < 'date')
This task is to implement ALTER TABLE DROP PARTITION for all of the
comparators, < > <= >= <> = != instead of just for =.
But in shark this is not working.
So Is there any way to do that ??
Thanks
