------------------------------------
Summary: Refine DROP COLUMN error message on partition columns for
Iceberg tables
Key: IMPALA-13332
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IMPALA-13332
Project: IMPALA
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Catalog
Affects Versions: Impala 4.4.1
Reporter: Peter Rozsa
On Iceberg tables when "ALTER TABLE table DROP COLUMN x" fails if x is a
partition column, the error message is cryptic: Failed to ALTER table 'table':
Cannot find source column for partition field: 1001: x: identity(1).
The error message should be improved to suggest that partition columns cannot
be dropped.
