I think the original warning message is more accurate. Direct sql mode
isn't just about performance. It's also about enhanced capability, e.g.
supporting filtering on non-string type columns. As the original comment
states, setting the direct sql config value to true may resolve a problem
around metastore-side partition filtering.
