Summary: Avoid getting the complete partition objects and fetch the location information only. Key: SENTRY-2430 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SENTRY-2430 Project: Sentry Issue Type: Sub-task Components: Sentry Environment: {code:java} // code placeholder {code} Reporter: kalyan kumar kalvagadda With the changes added as part of HIVE-20306, HiveMetaStoreClient now exposes new API " "getPartitionsWithSpecs" using which sentry can request specific information for partition. In simple words sentry could say fetch me the location information for the partitions in given table. Here is simple example on how it can be used. {code:java} GetPartitionsRequest request = new GetPartitionsRequest(); GetPartitionsProjectSpec projectSpec = new GetPartitionsProjectSpec(); projectSpec.setFieldList(Arrays.asList("sd.location")); GetPartitionsFilterSpec filter = new GetPartitionsFilterSpec(); filter.setDbName("compdb"); filter.setTblName("comptbl"); request.setFilterSpec(filter); request.setProjectionSpec(projectSpec); GetPartitionsResponse response; try { response = client.getPartitionsWithSpecs(request); } catch (Exception ex) { ex.printStackTrace(); LOG.error("Exception while retrieving partitions", ex); throw ex; } {code} -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005)
