Amareshwari Sriramadasu updated HIVE-2614:
------------------------------------------
Description:
Currently if we want to know 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.
