添加分区
//示例
ALTER TABLE table_name ADD PARTITION (partCol = 'value1') location 'loc1';
//一次添加一个分区
ALTER TABLE table_name ADD IF NOT EXISTS PARTITION (dt='20220301') LOCATION '/user/hadoop/warehouse/table_name/dt=20220301';
//一次添加多个分区
ALTER TABLE page_view ADD PARTITION (dt='2022-08-08', country='us') location '/path/to/us/part080808' PARTITION (dt='2022-08-09', country='us') location '/path/to/us/part080809';
删除分区
ALTER TABLE login DROP IF EXISTS PARTITION (dt='2022-08-08');
ALTER TABLE page_view DROP IF EXISTS PARTITION (dt='2022-08-08', country='us');
修改分区
ALTER TABLE table_name PARTITION (dt='2022-08-08') SET LOCATION "new location";
ALTER TABLE table_name PARTITION (dt='2022-08-08') RENAME TO PARTITION (dt='20220808');
添加列
//在所有存在的列后面,但是在分区列之前添加一列
ALTER TABLE table_name ADD COLUMNS (col_name STRING);
修改列
CREATE TABLE test_change (a int, b int, c int);
// will change column a's name to a1
ALTER TABLE test_change CHANGE a a1 INT;
// will change column a's name to a1, a's data type to string, and put it after column b. The new table's structure is: b int, a1 string, c int
ALTER TABLE test_change CHANGE a a1 STRING AFTER b;
// will change column b's name to b1, and put it as the first column. The new table's structure is: b1 int, a string, c int
ALTER TABLE test_change CHANGE b b1 INT FIRST;
修改表属性:
//内部表转外部表
alter table table_name set TBLPROPERTIES ('EXTERNAL'='TRUE');
//外部表转内部表
alter table table_name set TBLPROPERTIES ('EXTERNAL'='FALSE');
表的重命名
ALTER TABLE table_name RENAME TO newtable_name
