Description
msck repair table <tablename> alter table <tablename> recover partitions is often used in environments where the new partitions are loaded as directories on HDFS and users want to create the missing partitions in bulk. However, currently it only supports addition of missing partitions. If there are any partitions which are present in metastore but not on the FileSystem, it should also delete them so that it truly repairs the table metadata.
In Hive, it already support the grammar `msck repair table drop partitions`.
