• Pass partition location to replaceHivePartitionSchema and use it in the SQL template
• Retry the replace query after adding the partition when it is not found

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Bug Fixes
  • Hive partition schema updates now recover when the target partition is missing by adding it at the specified location and retrying the update.
  • Failures while adding the missing partition are logged, and the schema update is retried; other errors continue to surface normally.

Walkthrough

The Hive partition schema-replacement API now requires a location. The Spark Catalog and SQL implementations use that location when handling matching “partition not found” errors. They attempt to add the partition and then retry schema replacement.

Changes

Hive partition schema replacement

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Add partition location to helper API pramen/core/src/main/scala/za/co/absa/pramen/core/utils/hive/HiveHelper.scala, pramen/core/src/main/scala/za/co/absa/pramen/core/utils/hive/HiveHelperSparkCatalog.scala, pramen/core/src/main/scala/za/co/absa/pramen/core/utils/hive/HiveHelperSql.scala	The helper declaration and both implementations add a required location parameter.
Handle missing partitions during schema replacement pramen/core/src/main/scala/za/co/absa/pramen/core/utils/hive/HiveHelperSparkCatalog.scala, pramen/core/src/main/scala/za/co/absa/pramen/core/utils/hive/HiveHelperSql.scala, pramen/core/src/test/scala/za/co/absa/pramen/core/tests/utils/hive/HiveHelperSqlSuite.scala	When the schema-replacement failure has a non-null message containing “partition not found”, each implementation attempts to add the partition at the supplied location and retries the replacement SQL. Non-fatal errors from adding the partition are logged and suppressed. The test call supplies an empty location.

Change: Bug fix

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 87a32

The new missing-partition recovery behavior lacks a test of the full retry sequence. Add one before merging if practical; no production failure is established.

_{I’m a rabbit with a patch to share,
A partition path now travels there.
If “not found” stops the schema’s flight,
We add the partition, then retry.
I twitch my nose and hop away,
With Hive’s new path in place today.}

Exercise the partition-recovery path.

QueryExecutorMock.execute only records the query and never throws. Therefore this test records one replacement statement and does not call addPartition or retry the replacement. The existing addPartition test covers only the helper directly. Add a focused test for the full recovery sequence and the supplied location.

Suggested fix

-class QueryExecutorMock(tableExists: Boolean) extends QueryExecutor {
+class QueryExecutorMock(tableExists: Boolean,
+                        executeException: Option[Throwable] = None) extends QueryExecutor {
   val queries = new ListBuffer[String]
   var closeCalled = 0
+  private var pendingExecuteException = executeException

   override def doesTableExist(dbName: Option[String], tableName: String): Boolean = tableExists

   override def execute(query: String): Unit = {
     queries += query
+    pendingExecuteException.foreach { ex =>
+      pendingExecuteException = None
+      throw ex
+    }
   }

Add a test that uses Some(new RuntimeException("partition not found")), then asserts the query order is replacement, add-partition with the supplied location, and replacement again.
