Also consider that if you're using the metastore API, you'll most likely
need to recompile whenever you upgrade hive, while you most likely won't
need to do that if you use thrift.

If you have hive-server running somewhere you can do following-
HiveConf hiveConf = new HiveConf(MyClass.class);
hiveConf.set("hive.metastore.local", "false");
hiveConf.set(ConfVars.METASTOREURIS.varname, url);
HiveMetaStoreClient client = new HiveMetaStoreClient(hiveConf);
and then do-
client
You can use the metastore API directly if you source all the correct
hadoop and hive xml files, have all of hives/lib in your classpath and
network access. It is much more graceful to correct through the
thrift service.

I am using external tables already. Is the Metastore API not a usable API
from inside another Java Application?

The most programmatic way is to use external tables and then use
HiveService (thrift) to add the partition after your MR job has ran
successfully.
