Description

Hi,

we're trying out hive 1.1.0 with cloudera 5.3.3 and since hive 1.0.0 there's (what appears to be) a regression.

This ALTER command that renames a table column used to work fine in older versions but in hive 1.1.0 it does throws this error:

hive> CREATE TABLE test_change (a int, b int, c int);
OK
Time taken: 2.303 seconds
hive> ALTER TABLE test_change CHANGE a a1 INT;
FAILED: Execution Error, return code 1 from org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.exec.DDLTask. Unable to alter table. Invalid method name: 'alter_table_with_cascade'
