FORCE" > ----------------------------- > > Key: HIVE-2090 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-2090 > Project: Hive > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: Metastore > Reporter: Siying Dong > Assignee: Siying Dong > Priority: Minor > Attachments: HIVE-2090.1.patch, HIVE-2090.2.patch, HIVE-2090.3.patch, > HIVE-2090.4.patch, HIVE-2090.5.patch > > > A "DROP DATABASE ...
