Delete column in hive table
问题 I am working with hive version 0.9 and I need delete columns of a hive table. I have searched in several manuals of hive commands but I only I have found commands to version 0.14. Is possible to delete a column of a hive table in hive version 0.9? What is the command? Thanks. 回答1: We can’t simply drop a table column from a hive table using the below statement like sql. ALTER TABLE tbl_name drop column column_name ---- it will not work. So there is a shortcut to drop columns from a hive table.
