Prasad Chakka commented on HIVE-804:
------------------------------------
I think you can give a location to 'alter table add partition' even if the
table is not external.
> Support deletion of partitions based on a prefix partition spefication

> Sometimes users create partitions like (date='...', time='...'). It is useful

> {code}
> ALTER TABLE test DROP PARTITION (date='2009-08-26');
> {code}
