Phabricator updated HIVE-2875: ------------------------------ Attachment: HIVE-2875.D2349.2.patch kevinwilfong updated the revision "HIVE-2875 [jira] Renaming partition changes partition location prefix". Reviewers: JIRA, njain I modified my approach. Now the partition's new location consists of the scheme and authority of the original location, and the path of the default location using the partition's new name. This is similar to what is done for partition's locations when a table is renamed. I ran the tests and they now pass.
