Hi folks,

I’m running into some issues when I try to compute incremental stats in Impala 
that I was hoping someone would be able to help with. I’m able to ‘compute 
stats’ in Impala on my smaller tables just fine. When I try computing stats 
incrementally for one of my larger tables, I seem to be running into this error:
> compute incremental stats bi_ full partition 
> (param1=0,day='2017-10-04',hour=00,host_platform='EU');
Query: compute incremental stats bi_full partition 
(param1=0,day='2017-10-04',hour=00,host_platform='EU')
WARNINGS: ImpalaRuntimeException: Error making 'alter_partitions' RPC to Hive 
Metastore:
CAUSED BY: InvalidOperationException: alter is not possible

Looking at impalad.INFO and catalogd.INFO I don’t see any additional details. I 
verified that I’m the owner of the tables in HDFS.

Has anyone run into this issue in the past? Any workarounds?

Thanks,

-- Piyush
