Sergey Shelukhin commented on HIVE-11487:
-----------------------------------------

can you use req/resp pattern for a new metastore API? Thrift methods with 
"normal" signature can never be modified in any way due to backward compat, 
which leads to proliferation of different methods in metastore api

> Add getNumPartitionsByFilter api in metastore api

> Adding api for getting number of partitions for a filter will be more optimal 
> when we are only interested in the number. getAllPartitions will construct 
> all the partition object which can be time consuming and not required.
> Here is a commit we pushed in a forked repo in our organization -
