Research direction

The issue lists Hive ALTER TABLE operations, including SET TBLPROPERTIES, ADD COLUMNS, and CHANGE COLUMN, but names no files, entry points, tests, or complete acceptance criteria. Start by locating the existing table-alteration handling and determine the supported operation set; done requires implementing and testing the requested Hive operations.
