-------------------------------------
Summary: PURGE option for DROP DATABASE
Key: HIVE-17074
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-17074
Project: Hive
Issue Type: New Feature
Reporter: Muthu Manickam
Priority: Critical
PURGE (skipTrash) option is supported only at the table level. It would be nice
to have this at database level as well and this could be added along with
CASCADE option to skip trash when someone is ready to drop all the tables. This
would make the clean up tasks simple and clean.
Example: DROP DATABASE <database_name> CASCADE *{color:red}PURGE{color}*
