> HIVE-4051 introduced perf optimization that involves getting partitions
> directly via SQL in metastore. Given that SQL queries might not work on all
> datastores (and will not work on non-SQL ones), JDO fallback is in place.
> Given that perf improvement is very large for short queries, it's on by
> default.
> However, there's a problem with tests with regard to that. If SQL code is
> broken, tests may fall back to JDO and pass. If JDO code is broken, SQL might
> allow tests to pass.
> We are going to disable SQL by default before the testing problem is resolved.
> There are several possible solultions:
> 1) Separate build for this setting. Seems like an overkill...
> 2) Enable by default; disable by default in tests, create a clone of
> TestCliDriver with a subset of queries that will exercise the SQL path.
> 3) Have some sort of test hook inside metastore that will run both ORM and
> SQL and compare.
> 3') Or make a subclass of ObjectStore that will do that. ObjectStore is
> already pluggable.
> 4) Write unit tests for one of the modes (JDO, as non-default?) and declare
> that they are sufficient; disable fallback in tests.
> 3' seems like the easiest. For now we will disable SQL by default.
