----------------------------
Summary: skipTrash option in hive command line
Key: HIVE-6935
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-6935
Project: Hive
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: CLI
Reporter: Jayesh
hive drop table command deletes the data from HDFS warehouse and puts it into
Trash.
Currently there is no way to provide flag to tell warehouse to skip trash while
deleting table data.
This ticket is to add skipTrash feature in hive command-line, that looks as
following.
hive -e "drop table skipTrash testTable"
This would be good feature to add, so that user can specify when not to put
data into trash directory and thus not to fill hdfs space instead of relying on
trash interval and policy configuration to take care of disk filling issue.
