Description

Adding alterPartition to the AlterHandler interface would allow for customized functionality to be executed as part of altering a partition, much like it is already allowed for alterTable.

Based on the name of the interface, and a comment in the AlterHandler code, it looks like alterPartition was meant to be included along with alterTable.
