-----------------------------------
Summary: Provide a variant of IMetaStoreClient.createTable() that
returns populated Table
Key: HIVE-21807
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-21807
Project: Hive
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Metastore
Affects Versions: 3.0.0
Reporter: Fredy Wijaya
Currently
https://github.com/apache/hive/blob/6664c44c795e467c08c79948270409f03a86d8c2/standalone-metastore/metastore-common/src/main/java/org/apache/hadoop/hive/metastore/IMetaStoreClient.java#L1678-L1679
does not provide a way to return a create timestamp and many other information
from the Table. Calling IMetastore.getTable() isn't an atomic operation and can
be slightly racy.
By having a variant of IMetastoreClient.createTable() that returns a populated
Table, we can make this operation atomic and avoid any race condition.
