Drop column of hive table stored as orc

Question

I have hive table created as below:

create table alpha001(id int, name string) clustered by (id) into 2 buckets store         


        

Answer 1

I just found out that we are not able to drop the columns in table which is stored as ORC. And only way is we can use "create table as select" option to create a new table with desired columns.
