------------------------------------
Summary: ADD PARTITION doesn't accept SET FORMAT
Key: IMPALA-9460
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IMPALA-9460
Project: IMPALA
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Frontend
Affects Versions: Impala 3.3.0
Reporter: Gabor Kaszab
The Impala docs say this should work, however, I get an error:
{code:java}
alter table tbl_name add partition (i=3) set fileformat orc;{code}
{code:java}
ERROR: ParseException: Syntax error in line 1:
..._name add partition (i=3) set fileformat orc
^
Encountered: SET
Expected: CACHED, LOCATION, PARTITION, UNCACHEDCAUSED BY: Exception: Syntax
error{code}
There is a workaround to create the partition first with the default fileformat
of the table and in a separate step change the format:
{code:java}
alter tbl_name add partition (i=2);
alter table tbl_name partition (i=2) set fileformat orc;
