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"

> 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.
