Ning Zhang commented on HIVE-2016:
----------------------------------
Currently CLI print out an error message to Session.err. Throwing exception may
cause backward compatibility issue. Is this issue mostly related to usage
thrown Hive thrift server? if so we need to figure out a way to pass
Session.err from HiveServer to client side.
> alter partition should throw exception if the specified partition does not
> exist.
