> HMS currently has APIs like these that automatically create/delete the directories on the associated DFS. 
> [create/drop]_database
> [create/drop]_table*
> [add/append/drop]_partition*
> This is expected and should be this way when query processors use this APIs. However, when tools that replicate hive metadata use this APIs on the target cluster, creating these dirs on target side which cause the replication of DFS-snapshots to fail.
> So we if provide an option to bypass this creation of dirs, dfs replications will be smoother. In the future we will need to restrict users that can use these APIs. So we will have some sort of an authorization policy.
