[jira] [Commented] (HIVE-21034) Add option to schematool to drop Hive databases

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-21034?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=16719096#comment-16719096 ] 

Alan Gates commented on HIVE-21034:
-----------------------------------

Creating a single command that will destroy all a user's data is very dangerous.  What's the use case?

> An option to remove all Hive managed data could be a useful addition to {{schematool}}.
> I propose to introduce a new flag {{-dropAllDatabases}} that would *drop all databases with CASCADE* to remove all data of managed tables.
