Carl Steinbach commented on HIVE-2038:
--------------------------------------
I think the meaning of "finalizing" a partition is actually defined by the
metastore client, since it's the client that has to call finalizePartition().
But when is the client supposed to call this? What happens if you have multiple
listeners registered which each has a different idea of what it means to
finalize a partition? I think the main problem with this is that the name of
the method gives the impression that this is somehow well defined, when in fact
the definition is left completely up to the application.
It sounds like what you actually want is a mechanism that allows the metastore
client to send application specific events to metastore listeners. Is this
accurate?
