Delta Table - Partitioning

Created a streaming job with delta table as a target.  The table did not have a partition when created earlier, however i would like to add an existing column as a partition column.

I am getting the following error.

com.databricks.sql.transaction.tahoe.DeltaAnalysisException: [_LEGACY_ERROR_TEMP_DELTA_0007] Partition columns do not match the partition columns of the table.

Is re-writing the entire table with the partition column the only way forward ?
