--------------------------------------
Hi [~leftylev], this property name cannot be changes, and also since this is a
table level property, it will apply to all partitions on the table. User cannot
set this property on partition level. It should also works for ALTER TABLE
statement if is not set when creating the table.
> Hive should be able to skip header and footer rows when reading data file for
> a table

> Hive should be able to skip header and footer lines when reading data file
> from table. In this way, user don't need to processing data which generated
> by other application with a header or footer and directly use the file for
> table operations.
> To implement this, the idea is adding new properties in table descriptions to
> define the number of lines in header and footer and skip them when reading
> the record from record reader. An DDL example for creating a table with
> header and footer should be like this:
> {code}
> Create external table testtable (name string, message string) row format
> delimited fields terminated by '\t' lines terminated by '\n' location
> '/testtable' tblproperties ("skip.header.line.count"="1",
> "skip.footer.line.count"="2");
> {code}
