jdbc connection breaking on ALTER

Hi

I'm experiencing a strange behaviour with hive-0.9.0. Accessing it
through JDBC driver and using ALTER statements causes the session to
break. Specifically, the first successful ALTER breaks it.

Steps to reproduce:

alter table xyz add partition (dt='1');
alter table xyz add partition (dt='2');

the alter commands should be successful, if the partition exists and
hive throws an error, than you can call it many times.

Is this a known issue? Is there some kind of workaround?

Regards
Marcin
