Description

Support for non-covering range partitions in Kudu.
1) create table syntax that supports ranges
2) adding and removing partitions (tablets) from Kudu tables, see the design doc (the actual APIs are currently missing): https://github.com/cloudera/kudu/blob/master/docs/design-docs/non-covering-range-partitions.md

We plan on doing something similar to the HANA syntax: http://scn.sap.com/docs/DOC-59822
