[jira] [Updated] (HIVE-26003) DROP FUNCTION silently passes when function doesn't exist

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-26003?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

László Bodor updated HIVE-26003:
--------------------------------
    Description: 
DROP FUNCTION silently passes when a function doesn't exist, which is bad, especially because hive has "DROP FUNCTION IF EXISTS".
I was working with functions when I found that "DROP FUNCTION myfunc" passed, and I thought it simply dropped the function, but then it kept working. I realized I was supposed to call  "DROP FUNCTION default.myfunc" because it's registered as "default.myfunc". This is just one example where DROP FUNCTION seems to work expected, but silently makes confusion.
