Description

When the table object is dropped by a concurrent thread, the get_partitions_by_names_req() API is currently throwing a TApplicationException to the client. Instead, the HMS server should propagate the InvalidObjectException thrown by getTable() to the HMS client. By doing this, other services using HMS client will understand the exception better.
