Thrift api to know if partition exists or not
---------------------------------------------
Key: HIVE-2614
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-2614
Project: Hive
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Metastore
Reporter: Amareshwari Sriramadasu
Assignee: Amareshwari Sriramadasu
Fix For: 0.9.0
Currently if we want to if a partition exists or not, we should call
get_partition() which constructs the partition and returns. This would require
joining multiple tables at the metastore end and it might not scale for many
such operations.
