Description

It seems like it works if there's more than one partition column, and doesn't work if there's just one. At least that's the case that I found. The situation for different types is the same.

hive> create table zzz(c string) partitioned by (i int);
OK

hive> alter table zzz add partition (i='foo');
OK

hive> create table zzzz(c string) partitioned by (i int,j int); 
OK
Time taken: 0.085 seconds
hive> alter table zzzz add partition (i='foo',j=5);            
FAILED: SemanticException [Error 10248]: Cannot add partition column i of type string as it cannot be converted to type int
hive> alter table zzzz add partition (i=5,j='foo');
FAILED: SemanticException [Error 10248]: Cannot add partition column j of type string as it cannot be converted to type int
