Sergio Peña commented on HIVE-18567: ------------------------------------ [~szita] There is a class 'PartitionIterable' which may fetch partition in batches to avoid fetching a large number of partitions from HMS. This iterable class depends on the full list of partition names that exist on the HMS server. If a max limit is applied to partition names, then this iterable class won't make sense. Also, fetching partition names is less memory costly than a full partition information. Perhaps this is the reason the partition max limit does not apply there. > ObjectStore.getPartitionNamesNoTxn doesn't handle max param properly > -------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HIVE-18567 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-18567 > Project: Hive > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Metastore > Reporter: Adam Szita > Assignee: Adam Szita > Priority: Major > Attachments: HIVE-18567.0.patch > > > As per [this HMS API test > case|https://github.com/apache/hive/commit/fa0a8d27d4149cc5cc2dbb49d8eb6b03f46bc279#diff-25c67d898000b53e623a6df9221aad5dR1044] > listing partition names doesn't check tha max param against > MetaStoreConf.LIMIT_PARTITION_REQUEST (as other methods do by > checkLimitNumberOfPartitionsByFilter), and also behaves differently on max=0 > setting compared to other methods. > We should bring this into consistency. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005)
