John Sichi commented on HIVE-1856: ---------------------------------- +1. Will commit when tests pass. Note for next time: for patch updates, our convention is to number them like HIVE-1856.1.patch, HIVE-1856.2.patch, etc. And then click the "Submit Patch" button again when a new one is uploaded; this makes sure it gets back into the review queue. > Implement DROP TABLE/VIEW ...
