------------------------------------
Test failures look unrelated. Same qtests have failed in other precommit builds
around the same time.
> ADD PARTITION should support setting FILEFORMAT and SERDEPROPERTIES

> Currently, {{ALTER TABLE ... ADD PARTITION}} only lets you set the
> partition's LOCATION but not its FILEFORMAT or SERDEPROPERTIES. In order to
> change the FILEFORMAT or SERDEPROPERTIES, you have to issue two additional
> calls to {{ALTER TABLE ... PARTITION ... SET FILEFORMAT}} and {{ALTER TABLE
> ... PARTITION ... SET SERDEPROPERTIES}}. This is not atomic, and queries that
> interleave the ALTER TABLE commands may fail.
> We should extend the grammar to support setting FILEFORMAT and
> SERDEPROPERTIES atomically as part of the ADD PARTITION command.
