Review Comment:
   `hive.load.dynamic.partitions.scan.specific.partitions` was inroduced by 
HIVE-25178 to fetch only specific relevant **external** tables partitions by 
partition names(using `getPartitionsByNames `method):
   
https://github.com/apache/hive/blob/ffb1165f59defa66b31b4fd9cb6367b71050071b/ql/src/java/org/apache/hadoop/hive/ql/metadata/Hive.java#L3187-L3202
   
   Here setting `hive.load.dynamic.partitions.scan.specific.partitions` to 
false will give others a false impression that this propertity can be used to 
control the partitions limit. However, It's just a coincidence as it just skip 
to  invoke `getPartitionsByNames `method when this propertity is false, and it 
has nothing to do with partitions limit.
   
   Am i right?
   If it is ok, i would suggest to think another better to fix this.
