Sergey Shelukhin commented on HIVE-11500:
-----------------------------------------
Actually the main reason all these calls exist for partitions is because they
use args instead of request-response pattern, which makes it impossible to
change the signature in a backward-compatible manner. I will happily refactor
these calls to be generic, or deprecate them in favor of generic calls and
remove later, if the need arises.

> We need to cache file metadata (e.g. ORC file footers) for split generation
> (which, on FSes that support fileId, will be valid permanently and only needs
> to be removed lazily when ORC file is erased or compacted), and potentially
> even some information about splits (e.g. grouping based on location that
> would be good for some short time), in HBase metastore.
> -It should be queryable by table. Partition predicate pushdown should be
> supported. If bucket pruning is added, that too.- Given that we cannot cache
> file lists (we have to check FS for new/changed files anyway), and the
> difficulty of passing of data about partitions/etc. to split generation
> compared to paths, we will probably just filter by paths and fileIds. It
> might be different for splits
> In later phases, it would be nice to save the (first category above) results
> of expensive work done by jobs, e.g. data size after decompression/decoding
> per column, etc. to avoid surprises when ORC encoding is very good, or very
> bad. Perhaps it can even be lazily generated. Here's a pony: 🐴
