Namit Jain commented on HIVE-3074:
----------------------------------
@Carl, append_partition adds a new partition to the metastore.
This new API does not add a new partition. It creates a new partition as it
would exist in memory, and returns it back to you.
The user can modify it and flush it later.
> Create a new API which gets a new empty partition object.

> Gets a new partition object with the given parameters. Similar to
> append_partition, but does not add the partition to metastore. It only works
> for tables; does not work for other objects like views. The table is fetched
> from the metastore using the db name and the table name. However, the actual
> partition is not fetched from the metastore. It does not matter whether the
> partition exists or not.The partition values are used to construct a new
> partition.
