Siying Dong commented on HIVE-2090: ----------------------------------- One thing to notice. When dropping all tables on a database, all files on the warehouse root of the DB are deleted. Data from tables/partitions on locations that are not under that root won't be deleted. This is kind of similar to the current approach of dropping table -- data in partitions won't be deleted if their locations are not under table's locations. > Add "DROP DATABASE ... FORCE" > ----------------------------- > > Key: HIVE-2090 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-2090 > Project: Hive > Issue Type: New Feature > Reporter: Siying Dong > Assignee: Siying Dong > Priority: Minor > Attachments: HIVE-2090.1.patch, HIVE-2090.2.patch, HIVE-2090.3.patch > > > A "DROP DATABASE ...
