-----------------------------------
[~sershe] & [~hsubramaniyan] Could you elaborate the comment on
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-5376?focusedCommentId=13960805&page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel#comment-13960805
I do not quite understand what the difficulty is to implement this JIRA at
metastore site and why metastore needs QL.
Thanks.

> Followup for HIVE-5297. If partition column of type string is changed to int,
> the data is not verified. The values for partition columns are all in
> metastore db, so it's easy to check and fail the type change.
> alter_partition_coltype.q (or some other test?) checks this behavior right
> now.
