Description

HiveMetaStore.drop_partitions_req() still seems to:

1. Load the full partition-list into memory
2. Iterate on the partition-list to check for isArchived, etc.
3. Doesn't use a "dropPartitionsAndGetLocations()" kind of mechanism.

selinazh is working on pushing more of this down into the ObjectStore, similarly to the work for dropTable.
