> tbl1 is just used as a prop to create data, could be an existing directory 
> for an external table.
> Due to weird behavior of LoadTableDesc (some ancient code for overriding old 
> partition path), custom partition path is overwritten after the query and the 
> data in it ceases being a part of the table (can be seen in desc formatted 
> output with masking commented out in QTestUtil)
> This affects branch-1 too, so it's pretty old.
> {noformat}drop table tbl1;
> CREATE TABLE tbl1 (index int, value int ) PARTITIONED BY ( created_date 
> string );
> insert into tbl1 partition(created_date='2018-02-01') VALUES (2, 2);
> CREATE external TABLE tbl2 (index int, value int ) PARTITIONED BY ( 
> created_date string );
> ALTER TABLE tbl2 ADD PARTITION(created_date='2018-02-01');
> ALTER TABLE tbl2 PARTITION(created_date='2018-02-01') SET LOCATION 
> 'file:/Users/sergey/git/hivegit/itests/qtest/target/warehouse/tbl1/created_date=2018-02-01';
> select * from tbl2;
> describe formatted tbl2 partition(created_date='2018-02-01');
> insert into tbl2 partition(created_date='2018-02-01') VALUES (1, 1);
> select * from tbl2;
> describe formatted tbl2 partition(created_date='2018-02-01');
> {noformat}
