Roshan Naik commented on HIVE-5138: ----------------------------------- Capturing API related comments from [~ashutoshc] noted [here|https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-4196?focusedCommentId=13770314&page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel#comment-13770314] in HIVE-4196 {quote} We should try to eliminate the need of intermediate staging area while rolling on new partitions. Seems like there should not be any gotchas while moving data from streaming dir to partition dir directly. We should make thrift apis in metastore forward compatible. One way to do that is to use struct (which contains all parameters) instead of passing in list of arguments. We should try to leave TBLS table untouched in backend db. That will simplify upgrade story. One way to do that is to have all new columns in a new table and than add constraints for this new table. {quote} > Streaming - Web HCat API > ------------------------- > > Key: HIVE-5138 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-5138 > Project: Hive > Issue Type: Sub-task > Components: HCatalog, Metastore, WebHCat > Reporter: Roshan Naik > Assignee: Roshan Naik > Attachments: HIVE-4196.v2.patch, HIVE-5138.v1.patch > > -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
