Description

When a table is created in one dfs, a partition is added to that table, the table's dfs is changed, and the partitioned is concatenated, the partitions location remains exactly the same. Instead, it should inherit its location from the table, and be updated accordingly.

See https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-1707 for an analogous change to insert overwrite.
