Ashutosh Chauhan commented on HIVE-5951:
----------------------------------------
Can you comment why we need to add new api in metastore thrift interface? This
is a public api and there should be strong justification why existing api
(add_partitions()) doesn't fit the requirement and new one is required.
> improve performance of adding partitions from client

> Adding partitions to metastore is currently very inefficient. There are small
> things like, for !ifNotExists case, DDLSemanticAnalyzer gets the full
> partition object for every spec (which is a network call to metastore), and
> then discards it instantly; there's also general problem that too much
> processing is done on client side. DDLSA should analyze the query and make
> one call to metastore (or maybe a set of batched calls if there are too many
> partitions in the command), metastore should then figure out stuff and insert
> in batch.
