Mithun Radhakrishnan created HIVE-9588: ------------------------------------------
Summary: Reimplement HCatClientHMSImpl.dropPartitions() with HMSC.dropPartitions() Key: HIVE-9588 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-9588 Project: Hive Issue Type: Bug Components: HCatalog, Metastore, Thrift API Affects Versions: 0.14.0 Reporter: Mithun Radhakrishnan Assignee: Mithun Radhakrishnan {{HCatClientHMSImpl.dropPartitions()}} currently has an embarrassingly inefficient implementation. The partial partition-spec is converted into a filter-string. The partitions are fetched from the server, and then dropped one by one. Here's a reimplementation that uses the {{ExprNode}}-based {{HiveMetaStoreClient.dropPartitions()}}. It cuts out the excessive back-and-forth between the HMS and the client-side. It also reduces the memory footprint (from loading all the partitions that are to be dropped). -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
