Lefty Leverenz commented on HIVE-4095:
--------------------------------------

[~erwaman] has updated the Exchange Partition page of the wiki to show this 
syntax:

{code}
ALTER TABLE <dest_table> EXCHANGE PARTITION (<[partial] partition spec>) WITH 
TABLE <src_table>
{code}

Does this reflect the HIVE-6129 syntax in 0.13.0 (one release after this issue)?

The DDL doc's Exchange Partition section currently gives table_name_1 as the 
first table in the ALTER TABLE syntax but doesn't say which table is source.  
This is confusing because the other doc's examples have T1 for source (first 
table created) and T2 for destination, so the syntax is ALTER TABLE T2 ... 
unlike the DDL doc.

I suggest clarifying source and destination in the DDL doc, and adding release 
information about HIVE-6129.

Thanks for the update, Anthony.
