Hi, guys,
hive> create table pokes(foo string, bar int) partitioned by (pt string);
OK
Time taken: 0.146 seconds
hive> select * from pokes;
Total MapReduce jobs = 1
Number of reduce tasks is set to 0 since there's no reduce operator

This should be a pitfall of hive, since if the table is not
partitioned, that query will pass.
