Lefty Leverenz commented on HIVE-6469:
--------------------------------------
Release 0.14 is a long way off, so I won't document this yet. (Or should it be
documented now to let people know there's a patch they could apply before the
release?)

> hive drop table command deletes the data from HDFS warehouse and puts it into
> Trash.
> Currently there is no way to provide flag to tell warehouse to skip trash
> while deleting table data.
> This ticket is to add skipTrash feature in hive command-line, that looks as
> following.
> hive -e "drop table skipTrash testTable"
> This would be good feature to add, so that user can specify when not to put
> data into trash directory and thus not to fill hdfs space instead of relying
> on trash interval and policy configuration to take care of disk filling issue.
