---------------------------------
Thank you [~gangtimliu]
Many times I have to remove data from external table to free up storage space
of the cluster. So it's necessary for me to have some statement like "truncate
... force" to remove data.
I submited an issue https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-4367
Just in case it may be some helpful for people have a similar need .
