[jira] [Commented] (HIVE-7100) Users of hive should be able to
specify skipTrash when dropping tables.
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-7100?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=14327190#comment-14327190 ]
Lefty Leverenz commented on HIVE-7100:
--------------------------------------
Doc note: This is documented in the wiki for DROP TABLE and ALTER TABLE DROP PARTITION.
* [Drop Table | https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/Hive/LanguageManual+DDL#LanguageManualDDL-DropTable]
* [Drop Partitions | https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/Hive/LanguageManual+DDL#LanguageManualDDL-DropPartitions]
I included DROP PARTITION based on deletePartitionData() in the patch -- please review my changes and correct anything that's not right. If it's okay, the TODOC14 label can be removed.

> 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.
