Alter table always throws an unhelpful error on failure
-------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: HIVE-2338
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-2338
             Project: Hive
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Metastore
            Reporter: Sohan Jain
            Assignee: Sohan Jain
            Priority: Minor


Every failure in an alter table function always return a MetaException. When 
altering tables and catching exceptions, we throw a MetaException in the 
"finally" part of a try-catch-finally block, which overrides any other 
exceptions thrown.
