Coal Chan updated SPARK-38230:
------------------------------
    Description: 
In `org.apache.spark.sql.execution.datasources.

InsertIntoHadoopFsRelationCommand`, `

sparkSession.sessionState.catalog.listPartitions

` will call method `org.apache.hadoop.hive.metastore.listPartitionsPsWithAuth` 
of hive metastore client, this method will produce multiple queries per 
partition on hive metastore db. When you insert into a table which has too many 
partitions(ie: 10k), it will produce too many queries on hive metastore db(ie: 
n * 10k = 10nk), it puts a lot of strain on the database.

In fact, it calls method `listPartitions` in order to get locations of 
partitions and get `customPartitionLocations`. But in most cases, we do not 
have custom partitions, so we can just get partition names.
