---------------------------------------------------------------
bq. Agreed it was a mistake for unclean thrift API. But, we cannot penalize a
single feature, which we need urgently, for that. I am all for the thrift
cleanup - it is just that the timing is not right from our side.
I'm not asking you to clean up the entire metastore Thrift API. All I'm asking
is for you to add a createTableLink() method instead of overloading the
createTable() method. It's fine if both createTable() and createTableLink() use
a common codepath behind the Thrift API, but the Thrift API needs to call these
things out as distinct operations.
bq. @Bhushan, in the links wiki - can you add a follow-up for the thrift
interface ?
When are these followups going to be addressed? If they aren't committed in
time for the 0.10.0 release are you OK with us backing out these changes?
