-------------------------------------
> Support Add Partition For Acid tables
> -------------------------------------
>
> Key: HIVE-18814
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-18814
> Project: Hive
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: Transactions
> Reporter: Eugene Koifman
> Assignee: Eugene Koifman

> [https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/Hive/LanguageManual%2BDDL#LanguageManualDDL-AddPartitions]
> Add Partition command creates a \{{Partition}} metadata object and set the
> location to the directory containing data files.
> In current master (Hive 3.0), Add partition on an acid table doesn't fail and
> at read time the data is decorated with row__id but the original transaction
> is 0. I suspect in earlier Hive versions this will throw or return no data.
>
> One option is follow Load Data approach and create a new delta_x_x/ and
> move/copy the data there.
>
> Another is to allocate a new writeid and save it in Partition metadata. This
> could then be used to decorate data with ROW__IDs. This avoids move/copy but
> retains data "outside" of the table tree which make it more likely that this
> data will be modified in some way which can really break things if done after
> and SQL update/delete on this data have happened.
