[jira] Commented: (HIVE-1542) DROP TABLE should raise an error when does not exist

["John Sichi (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-1542?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12899039#action_12899039 ] 

John Sichi commented on HIVE-1542:
----------------------------------

There are probably a lot of dependencies on the current (non-standard) behavior, so as part of implementing this, we also need to

(a) add a configuration option to let the old behavior be re-enabled (but we can set the default to the standard behavior)

and

(b) add support for the IF EXISTS clause (i.e. do this together with HIVE-1165)
