Description

when we update spark from version 1.5.2 to 2.0.1, all cases we have need change the table use "alter table add columns " failed, but it is said "All Hive DDL Functions, including: alter table" in the official document : http://spark.apache.org/docs/latest/sql-programming-guide.html.

Is there any plan to support sql "alter table .. add/replace columns" ?
