ability to add and drop partitions atomically
---------------------------------------------
Key: HIVE-2777
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-2777
Project: Hive
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: Metastore
Reporter: Aniket Mokashi
Fix For: 0.9.0
Hive should have ability to atomically add and drop partitions. This way admins
can change partitions atomically without breaking the running jobs. It allows
admin to merge several partitions into one.
Essentially, we would like to have an api- add_drop_partitions(String db,
String tbl_name, List<Partition> addParts, List<List<String>> dropParts,
boolean deleteData);
This jira covers changes required for metastore and thrift.
