Ashutosh Chauhan commented on HIVE-1514:
----------------------------------------
>From jira description and discussions, its not clear to me what changes went
>in here.
It will be useful to summarize the use case which this jira satisfies. From
cursory look of the patch, it seems following is now possible to do
{code}
ALTER TABLE table_name [partitionSpec] SET LOCATION "new location" set
fileformat rcfile
{code}
or some such. If so, is the use case the following: user created some data for
a existing hive table externally (meaning through some process outside of hive)
and now wants to use it to query from hive. So, she needs to do metadata
operation as above (which is now enabled through this patch) ?
> Be able to modify a partition's fileformat and file location information.
