> Currently Spark answers the {{SHOW PARTITIONS}} query by fetching all of the table's partition metadata from the external catalog and constructing partition names therefrom. The Hive client has a {{getPartitionNames}} method which is orders of magnitude faster, with the performance improvement scaling up with the number of partitions in the table. I believe we can use this method to great effect.
> Further details are provided in the associated PR (coming shortly).
