Lefty Leverenz commented on HIVE-9588:
--------------------------------------

Doc note:  This adds *hive.metastore.client.drop.partitions.using.expressions* 
to HiveConf.java, so it needs to be documented for 1.2.0 in the Metastore 
section of Configuration Properties.

https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/Hive/Configuration+Properties#ConfigurationProperties-MetaStore]

> Reimplement HCatClientHMSImpl.dropPartitions() with HMSC.dropPartitions()

> {{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).
