> Currently the [IMetastoreClient|https://github.com/apache/hive/blob/4b7a948e45fd88372fef573be321cda40d189cc7/standalone-metastore/metastore-common/src/main/java/org/apache/hadoop/hive/metastore/IMetaStoreClient.java] interface has 8 variants of the {{getPartitionsByNames}} method. Going quickly over the concrete implementation it appears that not all of them are useful/necessary so a bit of cleanup is needed.
> Below a few potential problems I observed:
> * Some of the APIs are not used anywhere in the project (neither by production nor by test code).
> * Some of the APIs are deprecated in some concrete implementations but not globally at the interface level without an explanation why.
> * Some of the implementations simply throw without doing anything.
> * Many of the APIs are partially tested or not tested at all.
> HIVE-24743, HIVE-25281 are related since they introduce/deprecate some of the aforementioned APIs.
> It would be good to review the aforementioned APIs and decide what needs to stay and what needs to go as well as complete necessary when relevant.
