Paul Brannan commented on KUDU-1872:
------------------------------------
Is there any reason to not include common/partition.h as part of the public
API? It seems stable; the last commit I see was 2016.
As a user, it feels strange to have a public function
KuduTable::Partition_schema() that returns an opaque type.
> Expose range partitioning info in API

> The API allows to create and drop range partitions using:
> [AlterTableOptions#addRangePartition
> (Java)|https://kudu.apache.org/apidocs/org/apache/kudu/client/AlterTableOptions.html#addRangePartition-org.apache.kudu.client.PartialRow-org.apache.kudu.client.PartialRow-]
> or [KuduTableAlterer#AddRangePartition
> (C++)|http://kudu.apache.org/releases/1.2.0/cpp-client-api/classkudu_1_1client_1_1KuduTableAlterer.html#a521a968f4db133a10629f76c75dde793]
> - however it is currently not possible to retrieve information about the
> currently available partitions. In effect, when partitions are to be added
> dynamically by the client, they either must be optimistically added (i.e.
> ignoring AlreadyExists error) or tracked separately.
