---------------------------------
Resolution: Done
> 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
> Assignee: Peter Rozsa
> Priority: Major
> Labels: ramp-up, sql-language
>
> 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;
> +-------------------------+
