Why? 📖
When running an ALTER TABLE Hive stores the types of columns from table schema in sequential order to enforce the same types after the ALTER TABLE. However when performing our abstraction of DROP COLUMN, the types may change, since the schema will definitely change.
Currently, if we try to drop a column that changes this 'types order', the following error returns:
What? 🔧
drop_columns_from_table
:Allowing, in the current execution, the changing of types when comparing the table schema prior and after ALTER TABLE.

How everything was tested? 📏
