spark-sql is not supporting partition drop
<p>I'm using the following query to drop hive table partition through <code>spark-sql</code>:</p>

<pre><code>Alter table TABLE_NAME drop if exists partition (PARTITION_STRING)
</code></pre>

<p>I am getting the error below:</p>

<blockquote>
  <p>AnalysisException: mismatched input 'DROP' expecting KW_EXCHANGE near <strong>TABLE_NAME</strong> in alter exchange partition;</p>
</blockquote>
