Alan Gates commented on HIVE-8472:
----------------------------------
One other point, to save Lefty the time of saying it, the docs need changed to
reflect this new functionality. In particular, it needs to call out that
changing the location does not move any existing data. It does not even affect
where existing tables will write new data (including new partitions). It just
changes where new tables will be located by default.
> Add ALTER DATABASE SET LOCATION
