Namit Jain commented on HIVE-3074:
----------------------------------
One of the common use-cases we see is that people want to create a new
partition object using the thrift API.
Today, the only way to perform that is to get a existing partition object,
modify it manually (location, partition valus etc.),
modify some other properties (which are application dependent) and then add the
partition. This process is error prone, since it is
manual.
The purpose of this API is to let the users get the partition assuming no
manual process. It is similar to append_partition without the
partition actually being created. The user can modify it, and then decide to
add it, or change it.
> Create a new API which gets a new empty partition object.
