Mithun Radhakrishnan commented on HIVE-9628: -------------------------------------------- Hey, [~sershe]. Thanks for reviewing. I've made HIVE-9588 depend on this JIRA. This overload will be used from {{HCatClient.dropPartitions()}}, since it doesn't need the returned partition-list. > HiveMetaStoreClient.dropPartitions(...List<ObjectPair<Integer,byte[]>>...) > doesn't take (boolean needResult) > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: HIVE-9628 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-9628 > Project: Hive > Issue Type: Bug > Components: API, Metastore > Affects Versions: 0.14.0 > Reporter: Mithun Radhakrishnan > Assignee: Mithun Radhakrishnan > Attachments: HIVE-9628.1.patch > > > {{HiveMetaStoreClient::dropPartitions()}} assumes that the dropped > {{List<Partition>}} must be returned to the caller. That's a lot of thrift > traffic that the caller might choose not to pay for. > I propose an overload that retains the default behaviour, but allows > {{needResult}} to be overridden. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
