Siying Dong commented on HIVE-2090: ----------------------------------- According to this doc: http://diwakergupta.github.com/thrift-missing-guide/ , adding an 'optional' keyword will solve the problem. However, when I tried to add it, it shows '[WARNING:/data/users/sdong/www/open-source-hive3/metastore/if/hive_metastore.thrift:212] optional keyword is ignored in argument lists.'. My guess is that it is automatically handled by Thrift. I'll double check with more people about it. > Add "DROP DATABASE ... FORCE" > ----------------------------- > > Key: HIVE-2090 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-2090 > Project: Hive > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: Metastore > Reporter: Siying Dong > Assignee: Siying Dong > Priority: Minor > Attachments: HIVE-2090.1.patch, HIVE-2090.2.patch, HIVE-2090.3.patch, > HIVE-2090.4.patch, HIVE-2090.5.patch > > > A "DROP DATABASE ...
