Jayesh updated HIVE-7100:
-------------------------
Attachment: HIVE-7100.patch
Hi [~xuefuz],
we realized that hive.warehouse.data.skipTrash as admin property creates some
confusions over the behavior of hive in dropping table.
since there ll be no way for client to figure out what
hive.warehouse.data.skipTrash configuration is set to. ( in remote metastore
setup with HIVE-6469 patch)
Ex: if hive.warehouse.data.skipTrash is set to true on metastore (admin side)
"set hive.warehouse.data.skipTrash" still returns false on client side. which
is bit confusing.
I have uploaded the patch that provides client to specify skipTrash option on
ad-hoc basis, which also does not dilute the SQL syntax and it is configuration
driven as you suggested.
ps: To provide this way of setting skipTrash by client, I had to remove it
solely based on admin configuration.
Please let us know your comments.
Thanks
Jay

> Users of our clusters are often running up against their quota limits because
> of Hive tables. When they drop tables, they have to then manually delete the
> files from HDFS using skipTrash. This is cumbersome and unnecessary. We
> should enable users to skipTrash directly when dropping tables.
> We should also be able to provide this functionality without polluting SQL
> syntax.
