    Description

      This was reported on the impyla issue tracker here:
      https://github.com/cloudera/impyla/issues/31

      When using beeswax, the information on the partition identity is returned, but when using hiveserver2, it is not (as described in IMPYLA-31).

      To recreate this issue, first create a table:

      USE whatever;
      CREATE TABLE test_partitions (
        column_1 STRING,
        column_2 STRING,
        column_3 STRING,
        column_4 STRING
      )
      PARTITIONED BY (
        year INT,
        month INT,
        day INT
      )
      STORED AS PARQUET
      LOCATION '/tmp/test_partition_dir';
      

      then insert some data

      INSERT INTO TABLE test_partitions
      PARTITION (year, month, day)
      VALUES ('a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 2014, 11, 8), ('foo', 'bar', 'car', 'done', 2013, 9, 22);
      

      Then use the master branch of impyla:

      git clone https://github.com/cloudera/impyla.git
      cd impyla
      python setup.py install
      

      Then open a python interpreter and run:

      from impala.dbapi import connect
      
      conn_hs2 = connect(host='impalad.host', port=21050, protocol='hiveserver2')
      conn_bees = connect(host='impalad.host', port=21000, protocol='beeswax')
      
      cur_hs2 = conn_hs2.cursor()
      cur_bees = conn_bees.cursor()
      
      cur_bees.execute('use whatever')
      cur_bees.execute('show partitions test_partitions')
      cur_bees.fetchall()
      
      cur_hs2.execute('use whatever')
      cur_hs2.execute('show partitions test_partitions')
      cur_hs2.fetchall()
      

      The results should basically be the same, but the HS2 version has Nones in place of the partition ids.
