John Sichi commented on HIVE-1542: ---------------------------------- There are probably a lot of dependencies on the current (non-standard) behavior, so as part of implementing this, we also need to (a) add a configuration option to let the old behavior be re-enabled (but we can set the default to the standard behavior) and (b) add support for the IF EXISTS clause (i.e. do this together with HIVE-1165) > DROP TABLE <tablename> should raise an error when <tablename> does not exist > ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HIVE-1542 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-1542 > Project: Hadoop Hive > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Query Processor > Reporter: Carl Steinbach > > See http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/drop-table.html -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
