Description

HIVE-20306 defines a projection struct called GetPartitionsProjectionSpec While the name has Partition in its name, this is a fairly generic struct with nothing specific to partitions. This should be renamed to a more generic name (GetProjectionSpec ?) and builder methods of this class for tables and partitions must be added to HiveMetaStoreClient.
