--------------------------------------
This was reverted by HIVE-7289 so no documentation is needed after all.

> Th current behavior of hive metastore during a "drop table <table_name>"
> command is to delete the data from HDFS warehouse and put it into Trash.
> Currently there is no way to provide a flag to tell the warehouse to skip
> trash while deleting table data.
> This ticket is to add skipTrash configuration "hive.warehouse.data.skipTrash"
> , which when set to true, will skipTrash while dropping table data from hdfs
> warehouse. This will be set to false by default to keep current behavior.
> This would be good feature to add, so that an admin of the cluster can
> specify when not to put data into the trash directory (eg. in a dev
> environment) and thus not to fill hdfs space instead of relying on trash
> interval and policy configuration to take care of disk filling issue.
