Eric Hwang commented on HIVE-736:
---------------------------------
Actually I just talked to Zheng offline and I guess the get_fields function
should NOT return the partition column under its proper usage. I can work
around this by calling get_tables and then join the partitionkey field
descriptors with the result of get_fields. I'll do this for now, however, this
seems rather roundabout and I think there should still be a function which just
returns all field descriptors altogether.

> Project: Hadoop Hive
> Issue Type: Bug
> Reporter: Eric Hwang
>
> MetaStoreUtil's get_fields(), which is offered through the Hive Server
> interface, does not include the partition field in its returned list of
> fields. This may be related to JIRA-671. At the moment, there is no way for a
> Hive client to discover a partition column in a table, creating a big issue
> for anyone who wishes to query a partitioned table.
