Andrew Or updated SPARK-14684:
------------------------------
Description:
When attempting to drop partitions of a table, if the user provides an unknown
column, Hive will drop all the partitions of the table, which is likely not
intended. E.g.
{code}
ALTER TABLE my_tab DROP PARTITION (ds='2008-04-09', unknownCol='12')
{code}
We should verify that the columns provided in the specs are actually
partitioned columns.
was:When users inputting invalid partition spec, we might not be able to
catch and issue the error messages. Sometimes, it could cause a disaster
result. For example, previously, when we alter a table and drop a partition
with invalid spec, it could drop all the partitions due to a bug/defect in Hive
Metastore API.
