Description

I have a use-case where I want to be able to add a new partition on every run of an incremental import job. However, the parameters of this import job are saved when I create and job and store it in the metastore.

I want to pass a parameter to this job on every run about the partition spec where I want the data to get imported to but I wasn't able to find a way to supply such a parameter when executing such a saved job.
