Alan Gates commented on HIVE-9271:
----------------------------------
Yes, you could use alter partition touch. However, this does not give you the
opportunity in the future to pass additional information (e.g., what files were
added to a partition as part of an insert to an existing partition, see
HIVE-9273).
markPartitionForEvent is different. I looked at that initially but I would
have had to change the semantics of how it worked and that didn't seem
reasonable.
> Add ability for client to request metastore to fire an event

> Currently all events in Hive are fired by the metastore. However, there are
> events that only the client fully understands, such as DML operations. There
> should be a way for the client to request the metastore to fire a particular
> event.
