Ning Zhang commented on HIVE-1609: ---------------------------------- @namit, the Hive metastore already has the API to get all sub-partitions given a partial specification like you provided -- Hive.getPartitions(Table, partialPartSpec). > Support partition filtering in metastore > ---------------------------------------- > > Key: HIVE-1609 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-1609 > Project: Hadoop Hive > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: Metastore > Reporter: Ajay Kidave > Assignee: Ajay Kidave > Fix For: 0.7.0 > > Attachments: hive_1609.patch, hive_1609_2.patch, hive_1609_3.patch > > > The metastore needs to have support for returning a list of partitions based > on user specified filter conditions. This will be useful for tools which need > to do partition pruning. Howl is one such use case. The way partition pruning > is done during hive query execution need not be changed. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
