Carl Steinbach commented on HIVE-3074:
--------------------------------------
@Nadeem: Please see my comments on phabricator. TestHiveMetaStore fails with
the most recent version of your patch. Also, these patches need to be attached
to this ticket before the patch gets committed. Thanks.
@Namit: I'm still trying to understand why we need this new metastore function.
If append_partition() is deficient in some way, wouldn't it make more sense to
fix that problem instead of adding yet another metastore function?
> 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.
