Description

Not able to CONCATENATE at Table/Partial partition levels. I have table test partitioned on year, month and date. If I try to concatenate by providing corresponding year, month and date of partition it is working fine, but when I want to concatenate ORC files for all the sub partition corresponding to year and month, it is giving exception.

hive> ALTER TABLE test PARTITION (year = '2017', month = '05') CONCATENATE;
FAILED: SemanticException org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.parse.SemanticException: Partition not found

{year=2017, month=05}

hive> ALTER TABLE test CONCATENATE;
FAILED: SemanticException org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.parse.SemanticException: source table test is partitioned but no partition desc found.

I am expecting this to trigger concatenate in all available sub partitions.
