   Do you see this as less about Partition evolution and more about being able 
to rewrite data into a more optimal partition spec. Like in your example maybe 
your default partition is using days, but on one specific day your data was 
exceptionally chatty resulting in suboptimal query performance. So being able 
to rewrite the chatty days into hours could result in a more optimal partition 
setup.
   
   If so, would it make sense for users to be able to add a partition spec to a 
table without altering/evolving the existing default. Maybe this already exists?
