I've got time on my hands and wiki edit privileges, so I'd be happy to add the CASCADE option if you tell me what to write. (Or I could do a bit of research, write something that needs review, never get a review, and hope for the best.)
CASCADE is mentioned in the "Drop Partitions" section with the "NO DROP" option ( https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/Hive/LanguageManual+DDL#LanguageManualDDL-DropPartitions) but perhaps that should say "NO_DROP" to match the syntax shown in "Alter Table/Partition Protections" (link in previous message): "For tables that are protected by NO DROP CASCADE, you can use the predicate IGNORE PROTECTION to drop a specified partition or set of partitions (for example, when splitting a table between two Hadoop clusters)." -- Lefty Leverenz, *retired tech writer* On Mon, Jul 22, 2013 at 11:20 AM, Jean-Charles Thomas < [email protected]> wrote: > Hi,**** > > ** ** > > I just noted that the CASCADE option is missing in the documentation for > partition protection.**** > > > https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/Hive/LanguageManual+DDL#LanguageManualDDL-AlterTable%2FPartitionProtections > **** > > ** ** > > Could somebody add it? **** > > I would be of course ready to do this myself if I get the right.**** > > ** ** > > Regards,**** > > ** ** > > Jean-Charles **** >
