Raghotham Murthy commented on HIVE-736:
---------------------------------------
bq. I think there should still be a function which just returns all field
descriptors altogether.
That makes sense. Instead of writing a work around, why not just add a function
to the metastore thrift api that returns all columns (including partition
columns)?
{code}
list<FieldSchema> get_schema(1:string db_name, 2:string tbl_name)
throws (1: MetaException o1, 2: UnknownTableException o2, 3:
UnknownDBException o3),
{code}
> MetaStoreUtils get_fields() does not return partition column

> 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.
