https://github.com/apache/spark/pull/14962
Found a common bug in the following ALTER TABLE commands:
```
| ALTER TABLE tableIdentifier (partitionSpec)?
SET SERDE STRING (WITH SERDEPROPERTIES tablePropertyList)?
#setTableSerDe
| ALTER TABLE tableIdentifier (partitionSpec)?
SET SERDEPROPERTIES tablePropertyList
#setTableSerDe
| ALTER TABLE tableIdentifier ADD (IF NOT EXISTS)?
partitionSpecLocation+
#addTablePartition
| ALTER VIEW tableIdentifier ADD (IF NOT EXISTS)?
partitionSpec+
#addTablePartition
| ALTER TABLE tableIdentifier
from=partitionSpec RENAME TO to=partitionSpec
#renameTablePartition
| ALTER TABLE tableIdentifier
DROP (IF EXISTS)? partitionSpec (',' partitionSpec)* PURGE?
#dropTablePartitions
| ALTER VIEW tableIdentifier
DROP (IF EXISTS)? partitionSpec (',' partitionSpec)*
#dropTablePartitions
| ALTER TABLE tableIdentifier partitionSpec? SET locationSpec
#setTableLocation
| ALTER TABLE tableIdentifier RECOVER PARTITIONS
#recoverPartitions
```
We need to issue an exception when the tableType is `VIEW`. This is not
introduced by this PR. Should we fix it here? or create a separate PR?
