> Key: HIVE-12158
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-12158
> Project: Hive
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: HCatalog

> Reporter: David Maughan

> We have a use case where we have a list of partitions that are created as a
> result of a batch job (new or updated) outside of Hive and would like to
> synchronize them with the Hive MetaStore. We would like to use the HCatalog
> {{HCatClient}} but it currently does not seem to support this. However it is
> possible with the {{HiveMetaStoreClient}} directly. I am proposing to add the
> following method to {{HCatClient}} and {{HCatClientHMSImpl}}:
> A method for altering partitions. The implementation would delegate to
> {{HiveMetaStoreClient#alter_partitions}}. I've used "update" instead of
> "alter" in the name so it's consistent with the
> {{HCatClient#updateTableSchema}} method.
> {code}
> public void updatePartitions(List<HCatPartition> partitions) throws
> HCatException
> {code}
