BELUGA BEHR commented on HIVE-19933:
------------------------------------
[~ngangam] Thanks! I just had a user hit a scenario where they were mistyping
the partition name but didn't realize it because they weren't getting the
expected feedback from hive.

> ALTER TABLE web_logsz DROP PARTITION (`date`='xyz')
> -- SemanticException [Error 10001]: Table not found web_logsz
> ALTER TABLE web_logs DROP PARTITION (`date`='xyz')
> -- Success.
> {code}
> There is no 'xyz' partition for the 'date' column. To make this more
> consistent, the query should fail if the user tries to drop a partition that
> does not exist
