    Description

      TRUNCATE on empty partitioned table in Hive fails. If the table contains at least one partition, the operation will succeed:

      CREATE ROLE admin;
      GRANT ALL ON SERVER server1 TO ROLE admin;
      GRANT ROLE ADMIN TO GROUP <current group>;
      
      CREATE TABLE Foo(i int) PARTITIONED BY (j int);
      -- Fails
      TRUNCATE TABLE Foo;
      
      Error: Error while compiling statement: FAILED: SemanticException No valid privileges
       Required privileges for this query: (state=42000,code=40000)
      
      -- Now add a partition
      ALTER TABLE FOO ADD PARTITION (j=1);
      
      -- Succeeds
      TRUNCATE TABLE Foo;
