Peter Vary commented on HIVE-18898:
-----------------------------------
[~stakiar]: I was also surprised to learn that there are client side
transformations on the HiveMetaStoreClient from [~kuczoram]. Given that we do
not want to change the API with this changes, do you agree to continue with
[~kuczoram]'s proposed patch?
Thanks,
Peter
