Szehon Ho commented on HIVE-9975:
---------------------------------

Yea makes sense, although the message might make more sense as 'Rename 
partition: source partition [part_name] does not exist', because 'renamed' make 
it seem like its already renamed.  Sorry to make you run the test again , 
wonder what you think.

> Renaming a nonexisting partition should not throw out NullPointerException
