Carl Steinbach commented on HIVE-2090:
--------------------------------------
@Yongqiang: Will do. I updated the diff on reviewboard and will have comments
ready by tomorrow.
In the meantime, can we get an answer about the concerns I raised with
modifying the Thrift IDL? I think adding a parameter to drop_database() breaks
backwards compatibility with older versions since Thrift doesn't support method
overloading. Can anyone confirm that this is accurate?

> 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
