DROP DATABASE CASCADE does not drop non-native tables.
-------------------------------------------------------
Key: HIVE-2542
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-2542
Project: Hive
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Metastore
Reporter: Vandana Ayyalasomayajula
The hive meta store client does not delete the non-native tables during the
drop database <dbname> cascade operation. As a result even though the database
is deleted the tables still exist. This is related to HCATALOG-144.
A deeper look at the HiveMetaStoreClient's "dropDatabase" function, tells us
that the function does not utilize the hive meta hooks of the tables in the
database for dropping the non-native tables.
