I've created a hive table with two partition columns say col 1 and col2, now for some analytical purpose I wish to delete the col2 partition.
Basically I want the column - col2 to be removed from the partitioned column list, but I should not lose the data in col2.
Clearly, the final table should remain partitioned by col1 only while col2 should also exist in the final partitioned table but as a normal column and not a partition column.
Kindly suggest a way forward.
