Siying Dong commented on HIVE-2090:
-----------------------------------
Carl, it's just like there is "rm" and there is "rm -r". It's not for
supporting Hive's testing. It's to support testing applications that built on
top of Hive. Imagine you have a daily ETL query that does some transformation
from one table to another. It is natural to create a test database and do all
the tests there. In the end, it will be simpler to just run a query to clean
whatever on 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.
