                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-1082
             Project: Hadoop Hive
          Issue Type: Bug

I think we should make sure that the table can either be created anew with the 
specified properties, or it already exists with those properties, where 
'properties' includes all metadata except timestamps. Anything else is an 
error. This makes sense if you think of a table as the name  + its schema, 
instead of the name alone.
