Eric Hwang commented on HIVE-736: --------------------------------- Sounds like a good idea. I'll do that instead. Does anyone know if thrift permits the overloading of function names? The Hive server already has a function called get_schema with different arguments. > MetaStoreUtils get_fields() does not return partition column > ------------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: HIVE-736 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-736 > Project: Hadoop Hive > Issue Type: Bug > Reporter: Eric Hwang > > MetaStoreUtil's get_fields(), which is offered through the Hive Server > interface, does not include the partition field in its returned list of > fields. This may be related to JIRA-671. At the moment, there is no way for a > Hive client to discover a partition column in a table, creating a big issue > for anyone who wishes to query a partitioned table. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
