    Description

      Hive complains when calling ALTER TABLE ADD PARTITION on an EXTERNAL table when the partition location points to a single file. This is caused during Warehouse.mkdirs called by org.apache.hadoop.hive.metastore.HiveMetaStore$HMSHandler.add_partition_core_notxn(HiveMetaStore.java:1494). The external data already exists in place and shouldnt need additional directories needed.
