Description

When large number of tables (e.g 2000) and databases are present, PartitionManagementTask scans all tables and partitions causing pressure on HMS.

Currently there is no way to disable PartitionManagementTask as well. Round about option is to provide pattern via "metastore.partition.management.database.pattern / metastore.partition.management.table.pattern".

It will be good to provide an option to disable it completely.
