Description: HMSClient
        =========
        
        This project aims to be an up to date Python client to interact with the Hive metastore
        using the Thrift protocol.
        
        Installation
        ------------
        
        Install it with ``pip install hmsclient`` or directly from source
        
        .. code-block:: python
        
            python setup.py install
        
        Usage
        -----
        
        Using it from Python is simple:
        
        .. code-block:: python
        
            from hmsclient import hmsclient
            client = hmsclient.HMSClient('localhost', 9083)
            with client as c:
                c.check_for_named_partition('db', 'table', 'date=20180101')
        
        
        Regenerate the Python thrift library
        ------------------------------------
        
        The ``hmsclient.py`` is just a thin wrapper around the generated Python code to
        interact with the metastore through the Thrift protocol.
        
        To regenerate the code using a newer version of the ``.thrift`` files, you can
        use ``generate.py`` (note: you need to have ``thrift`` installed, see here_)
        
        .. code-block:: sh
        
            python generate.py --help
        
            Usage: generate.py [OPTIONS]
        
            Options:
              --fb303_url TEXT      The URL where the fb303.thrift file can be downloaded
              --metastore_url TEXT  The URL where the hive_metastore.thrift file can be
                                    downloaded
              --package TEXT        The package where the client should be placed
              --subpackage TEXT     The subpackage where the client should be placed
              --help                Show this message and exit.
        
        Otherwise the defaults will be used.
