Carl Steinbach commented on HIVE-3074:
--------------------------------------
@Namit: I don't understand what Ed means by "... a shallow object to play with
before writing back". Maybe you can explain it to me? Better yet, can you
please tell me why the existing append_partition() methods don't work for you?
> Create a new API which gets a new empty partition object.

> Gets a new partition object with the given parameters. Similar to
> append_partition, but does not add the partition to metastore. It only works
> for tables; does not work for other objects like views. The table is fetched
> from the metastore using the db name and the table name. However, the actual
> partition is not fetched from the metastore. It does not matter whether the
> partition exists or not.The partition values are used to construct a new
> partition.
