+### Altering Schema for a Table
+Table schema may be updated using the `ALTER SCHEMA` commands.
+
+The syntax for the command to add (or replace) columns / properties is the
following:
+
+ ALTER SCHEMA
+ (FOR TABLE dfs.tmp.nation | PATH '/tmp/schema.json')
+ ADD [OR REPLACE]
+ [COLUMNS (col1 int, col2 varchar)]
+ [PROPERTIES ('prop1'='val1', 'prop2'='val2')]
+
+Add command will fail if column or property with the same name exists, unless
`OR REPLACE` keywords are indicated.
+Add command will fail, if the schema file does not exist.
+
+The syntax for the command to remove columns / properties is the following:
+
+ ALTER SCHEMA
+ (FOR TABLE dfs.tmp.nation | PATH '/tmp/schema.json')
+ REMOVE
+ [COLUMNS (col1 int, col2 varchar)]
+ [PROPERTIES ('prop1'='val1', 'prop2'='val2')]
+
+Remove command won't fail if the column or property does not exist but will
fail if the schema file is absent.
