david serafini commented on HIVE-7100:
--------------------------------------
I think both of these ideas are good, but beyond the scope of this ticket.
dropPartitions is certainly worth doing, but is different from the use case for
dropTable. And changing the table configuration should be discussed first to
make sure it's a good idea.
I'd prefer to finish this ticket as-is and open a new ticket for each of the
other ideas.
> Users of hive should be able to specify skipTrash when dropping tables.

> 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.
