Throw an error when a nonexistent partition is accessed in strict mode
----------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: HIVE-2870
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-2870
             Project: Hive
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Query Processor
            Reporter: Lucian Adrian Grijincu
            Priority: Minor


When a table does not exist and someone tries to read from it in a query, Hive throws an error.

But if a partition is directly accessed that does not exist, an error is not thrown. This is inconsistent and also leads to a lot of confused users who get no output.

This task is to cause Hive to throw an error when the partition pruner for a query eliminates ALL existing partitions for some table when running in strict mode.
