[jira] [Created] (HIVE-17074) PURGE option for DROP DATABASE

Muthu Manickam created HIVE-17074:
-------------------------------------

             Summary: PURGE option for DROP DATABASE
                 Key: HIVE-17074
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-17074
             Project: Hive
          Issue Type: New Feature
            Reporter: Muthu Manickam
            Priority: Critical


PURGE (skipTrash) option is supported only at the table level. It would be nice to have this at database level as well and this could be added along with CASCADE option to skip trash when someone is ready to drop all the tables. This would make the clean up tasks simple and clean.

Example: DROP DATABASE <database_name> CASCADE *{color:red}PURGE{color}*
