Running into an "Out Of Memory" error when trying to drop a table with 128K 
partitions.

The methods dropTable in 
metastore/src/java/org/apache/hadoop/hive/metastore/ObjectStore.java 
and dropTable in ql/src/java/org/apache/hadoop/hive/ql/exec/DDLTask.java 
encounter out of memory errors 
when dropping tables with lots of partitions because they try to load the 
metadata for every partition into memory.
