There is a metastore API to drop -// partitions by name but we cannot use it because msck typically will contain partition value (year=2014). We almost -// never drop partition by name (year). So we need to construct expression filters, the current -// PartitionExpressionProxy implementations (PartitionExpressionForMetastore and HCatClientHMSImpl.ExpressionBuilder) -// all depend on ql code to build ExprNodeDesc for the partition expressions. It also depends on kryo for serializing -// the expression objects to byte[]. For MSCK drop partition, we don't need complex expression generator. For now, -// all we do is split the partition spec (year=2014/month=24) into filter expression year='2014' and month='24' and -// rely on metastore database to deal with type conversions. Ideally, PartitionExpressionProxy default implementation -// should use SearchArgument (storage-api) to construct the filter expression and not depend on ql, but the usecase -// for msck is pretty simple and this specific implementation should suffice. Review comment: Hm..hm.. using SARG will complicate a lot i guess and moving ExprNode related classes from ql is not trivial (we could explore this a bit further) but looking at a big picture most of the ExprNode classes is dependent on serde classes since we don't want serde classes in standalone-metastore We should either put class the ExprNode related class in some other module or new a new module which both ql and standalone-metastore can use. I could think of a another approach even though it is hacky, It solves the purpose. - Since PartitionExpressionForMetastore class is required only during partition pruning step, We can switch back the expression proxy class to MsckPartitionExpressionProxy once the partition pruning step is done. This way we could solve the compatability issue. @kgyrtkirk Any thoughts on validity of the above approach? ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
