Carl Steinbach commented on HIVE-2090:
--------------------------------------
It doesn't seem valid to extend the semantics of HiveQL simply to support a use
case motivated by Hive's testing infrastructure.
Also, from a user perspective, how do you plan to explain the difference
between "DROP DATABASE x" and "DROP DATABASE x FORCE"? Should I use the former
if I'm not really serious about dropping the database?
> Add "DROP DATABASE ... FORCE"

> A "DROP DATABASE ... FORCE" will be useful, when we use a database for
> isolation when doing some tests. Being able to force cleaning up the database
> will make test cleaning up easier.
