-----------------------------------------
Summary: Delete Partition Spec from Iceberg Table
Key: IMPALA-13184
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IMPALA-13184
Project: IMPALA
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: fe, Frontend
Reporter: Noemi Pap-Takacs
The partition layout of Iceberg tables can be changed. This is called partition
evolution.
If we want to update the partition spec to unpartition the table, we can change
the partition spec to void.
{code:java}
CREATE EXTERNAL TABLE ice_table (i INT NULL)
PARTITIONED BY SPEC(i)
STORED AS ICEBERG;
ALTER TABLE ice_table SET PARTITION SPEC(VOID(i));{code}
The partition column was 'i' and now it is 'void(i)'.
{code:java}
SHOW CREATE TABLE ice_table;
result:
CREATE EXTERNAL TABLE ice_table (i INT NULL)
PARTITIONED BY SPEC(VOID(i))
STORED AS ICEBERG {code}
An unpartitioned table should not contain any partition field/transform.
{code:java}
SHOW CREATE TABLE ice_table_unpartitioned;
result:
CREATE EXTERNAL TABLE ice_table (i INT NULL)
STORED AS ICEBERG{code}
The output of DESCRIBE FORMATTED should also reflect this.
