Mithun Radhakrishnan commented on HIVE-17472:
---------------------------------------------
For the record, the failing tests on {{branch-2.2}} seem to fail independently
of this patch. :/
> Drop-partition for multi-level partition fails, if data does not exist.

> Here's how to reproduce the problem:
> {code:sql}
> CREATE TABLE foobar ( foo STRING, bar STRING ) PARTITIONED BY ( dt STRING,
> region STRING ) STORED AS RCFILE LOCATION '/tmp/foobar';
> ALTER TABLE foobar ADD PARTITION ( dt='1', region='A' ) ;
> dfs -rm -R -skipTrash /tmp/foobar/dt=1;
> ALTER TABLE foobar DROP PARTITION ( dt='1' );
> {code}
> This causes a client-side error as follows:
> {code}
> 15/02/26 23:08:32 ERROR exec.DDLTask:
> org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.metadata.HiveException: Unknown error. Please check
> logs.
> {code}
