Workaround is - use db; and the fire the command. > From the source code- > alterPartition(tbl.getTableName(), new Partition(tbl, tpart)); takes String tablename as argument and loses db information. Table table = newTable(tablename) is called to retrieve table from name. But, it relies on currentDatabase value (hence the workaround). -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
