John Sichi commented on HIVE-705:
---------------------------------
Prasad, the MetaHook interface is defined that way so that if a handler wants
to, it can carry out the operation in a stateful fashion (e.g. if its
underlying catalog supports transactions), but there is no requirement for it
to keep state, and in fact the HBaseStorageHandler implementation is itself
stateless (and has a NOP for three of its method implementations).
Alter table: yes, I'm planning to create a followup task for this. The
original patch had alter table support in the meta hook interface too, but I
trimmed it down for now to limit the scope of the first commit.
