Description

The Hive CLI currently supports

ALTER TABLE <table> SET TBLPROPERTIES ('key1' = 'value1', 'key2' = 'value2', ...);

To add/change the value of table properties.

It would be really useful if Hive also supported
ALTER TABLE <table> UNSET TBLPROPERTIES ('key1', 'key2', ...);

Which would remove table properties
