------------------------------------------
Assignee: Konstantinos Kallas
> Exchange Partition with a table that already contains it
> --------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: HIVE-14763
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-14763
> Project: Hive
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Metastore
> Reporter: Konstantinos Kallas
> Assignee: Konstantinos Kallas
> Priority: Minor
> Labels: atomic, partition
>
> The EXCHANGE PARTITION command fails to execute if the partition already
> exists in the target table. However this is not the expected result from a
> command named *EXCHANGE* partition.
> +Proposed Improvement+
> Change the command to really exchange the partition between the target and
> the source table, meaning that after it the source table should have the
> destination table partition and vice versa.
