Paul Yang commented on HIVE-2147: --------------------------------- I agree with John's suggestion for PARTITION_EVENTS. For this event table, when will rows be dropped? Also, for when partitions are represented using a string, we've followed the convention that they are called partition names. Can we use that for MPartitionSet? Since MPartitionSet.partVals is a string, we should make it indexed, much like partitionName for the PARTITION table. > Add api to send / receive message to metastore > ---------------------------------------------- > > Key: HIVE-2147 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-2147 > Project: Hive > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Metastore > Affects Versions: 0.8.0 > Reporter: Ashutosh Chauhan > Assignee: Ashutosh Chauhan > Fix For: 0.8.0 > > Attachments: api-without-thrift.patch, hive_2147-2.patch > > > This is follow-up work on HIVE-2038. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
