 Review comment:
   1. Could you clean up the catch block on `NoSuchObjectException` is you 
decide to use existence check instead of relying on the exception to determine 
there's no such object ? 
   2. I am not familiar with this getPartition API but sending a list of 
partition values but returning single partition object seems to be a little bit 
strange. Can you double check the semantic ? Or alternative there's a 
`listPartitions` method which is usually the API that I used for checking 
existence.
