Sushanth Sowmyan commented on HIVE-5636:
----------------------------------------
In my previous patch, I'd removed some of the older deprecated methods, but
I've avoided doing that in this current patch given that it's so late in this
release cycle - I think it's better to approach that after our next release.
> Introduce getPartitionColumns() functionality from HCatInputFormat
> ------------------------------------------------------------------

> Key: HIVE-5636
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-5636
> Project: Hive
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: HCatalog
> Affects Versions: 0.12.0
> Reporter: Sushanth Sowmyan

> As of HCat 0.5, we made the class InputJobInfo private for hcatalog use only,
> and we made it so that setInput would not modify the InputJobInfo being
> passed in.
> However, if a user of HCatInputFormat wants to get what Partitioning columns
> or Data columns exist for the job, they are not able to do so directly from
> HCatInputFormat and are forced to use InputJobInfo, which currently does not
> work. Thus, we need to expose this functionality.
