> During drop partition on a managed table, first we delete the directory 
> corresponding to the partition. After that we recursively delete the parent 
> directory as well if parent directory becomes empty. To do this emptiness 
> check, we call Warehouse::getContentSummary(), which in turn recursively 
> check all files and subdirectories. This is a costly operation when a 
> directory has a lot of files or subdirectories. This overhead is even more 
> prominent for cloud based file systems like s3. And for emptiness check, this 
> is unnecessary too.
> This is recursive listing was introduced as part of HIVE-5220. Code snippet 
> for reference :
> {code:java}
> // Warehouse.java
> public boolean isEmpty(Path path) throws IOException, MetaException {
>   ContentSummary contents = getFs(path).getContentSummary(path);
>   if (contents != null && contents.getFileCount() == 0 && 
> contents.getDirectoryCount() == 1) {
>     return true;
>   }
>   return false;
> }
> // HiveMetaStore.java
> private void deleteParentRecursive(Path parent, int depth, boolean mustPurge, 
> boolean needRecycle)
>   throws IOException, MetaException {
>   if (depth > 0 && parent != null && wh.isWritable(parent)) {
>     if (wh.isDir(parent) && wh.isEmpty(parent)) {
>       wh.deleteDir(parent, true, mustPurge, needRecycle);
>     }
>     deleteParentRecursive(parent.getParent(), depth - 1, mustPurge, 
> needRecycle);
>   }
> }
> // Note: FileSystem::getContentSummary() performs a recursive listing.{code}
