> 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
> Assignee: Sushanth Sowmyan
> Attachments: HIVE-5636.2.patch, HIVE-5636.patch

>
> 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.
