I've replied to the issues of moving the branches on HIVE-4145. > > Arup and I have a couple of patches in flight: > 1. https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HCATALOG-609: Atomic AddPartition > event. Depends on HIVE-3938 (Hive metastore changes for the same). I'm happy to check in 609 if 3938 goes in. But I don't have the ability to check that in. You'll have to convince one of the Hive committers to take a look. I don't want to hold the move for it though. > 2. https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HCATALOG-627: Thread-safety for > NotificationListener. > (Preferably in that order.) If I can't get 609 in before the move do you still want this in, or would you prefer it wait?
