Mithun can you also add a comment explaining kind of expression
ExpressionBuilder generates (ie, expression with "and" of all partitionspecs) .

> {{HCatClientHMSImpl.dropPartitions()}} currently has an embarrassingly
> inefficient implementation. The partial partition-spec is converted into a
> filter-string. The partitions are fetched from the server, and then dropped
> one by one.
> Here's a reimplementation that uses the {{ExprNode}}-based
> {{HiveMetaStoreClient.dropPartitions()}}. It cuts out the excessive
> back-and-forth between the HMS and the client-side. It also reduces the
> memory footprint (from loading all the partitions that are to be dropped).
