Nachiket Vaidya commented on SENTRY-1387:
-----------------------------------------
makeMetastoreBasePartitionObject() assigns the table location in partition.
This is the root cause of this behavior.
There are two versions of makeMetastorePartitionObject() that call
makeMetastoreBasePartitionObject(). One sets given location and other keeps the
location unchanged (which is table location).
To fix this: set the partition location to null in
makeMetastoreBasePartitionObject(). It will auto-generated by Hive in the
format : <part_column>=<part_value>.
> Add HDFS sync tests for drop partition for external/implicit locations

> One thing I noted is: When a partition is added to a implicit location (with
> out using 'location' keyword), the location is stored as table location
> rather than partition location. So, I think we need to double check if we
> have coverage for these cases and make sure we handle this correctly.
