    Description

      Raising this on behalf of Chris Drome and Selina Zhang.

      Here's how to reproduce the problem:

      CREATE TABLE foobar ( foo STRING, bar STRING ) PARTITIONED BY ( dt STRING, region STRING ) STORED AS RCFILE LOCATION '/tmp/foobar';
      
      ALTER TABLE foobar ADD PARTITION ( dt='1', region='A' ) ;
      
      dfs -rm -R -skipTrash /tmp/foobar/dt=1;
      
      ALTER TABLE foobar DROP PARTITION ( dt='1' );
      

      This causes a client-side error as follows:

      15/02/26 23:08:32 ERROR exec.DDLTask: org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.metadata.HiveException: Unknown error. Please check logs.
