------------------------------------------
Summary: Add optional fields to enable returning filemetadata for
tables and partitions
Key: HIVE-25281
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-25281
Project: Hive
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: Vihang Karajgaonkar
Assignee: Vihang Karajgaonkar
The hive_metastore.thrift interface defines the fields for Table and Partition
objects. Certain SQL engines like Impala use Table and Partition from the HMS
and then augment it to include additional metadata useful for the engine itself
e.g file metadata. It would be good to add support for such fields in the
thrift definition itself. These fields currently will be optional fields so
that HMS itself doesn't really need to support it for now, but this can be
supported in future depending on which SQL engine is talking to HMS.
