------------------------------------------

             Summary: Include Table information in Hive's AddPartitionEvent.
                 Key: HIVE-3680
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-3680
             Project: Hive
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Metastore
    Affects Versions: 0.9.1
            Reporter: Mithun Radhakrishnan
             Fix For: 0.9.1


This has to do with a minor overhaul of the HCatalog notifications that we're 
attempting in HCATALOG-546.

It is proposed that HCatalog's notifications (on Add/Drop of Partitions) 
provide details to identify the affected partitions. 

Using the Partition object in AddPartitionEvent, one is able to retrieve the 
values of the partition-keys and the name of the Table. However, the 
partition-keys themselves aren't available (since the Table instance isn't part 
of the AddPartitionEvent).

Adding the table-reference to the AddPartitionEvent and DropPartitionEvent 
classes will expose all the info we need. (The alternative is to query the 
metastore for the table's schema and use the partition-keys from there. :/)

I'll post a patch for this shortly.
