Description

Incorrect documentation for MetaStoreClient method

List<String> listPartitionNames(String db_name, String tbl_name,
 List<String> part_vals, short max_parts)

Saying "...If you wish to accept any value for a particular key you can pass ".*" for that value in this list..."

Any value wildcard behaviour is achieved with empty string "". Documentation and tests should reflect this.
