Sohan Jain commented on HIVE-2213: ---------------------------------- I'd also like to point one more thing out. The previous implementation of get_partitions_ps_with_auth() did not actually make use of the inputted user name or group name, nor did it set any auth privileges on the desired partitions. This patch adds authentication privileges, which unfortunately slows down get_partitions_ps_with_auth(), since we have to iterate through all of the partitions and set privileges before returning them. What is the desired behavior here? > Optimize get_partition_names_ps() > --------------------------------- > > Key: HIVE-2213 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-2213 > Project: Hive > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Metastore > Reporter: Sohan Jain > Assignee: Sohan Jain > Attachments: HIVE-2213.1.patch, HIVE-2213.3.patch > > > If a table has a large number of partitions, get_partition_names_ps() make > take a long time to execute, because we get all of the partition names from > the database.
