Morgan Phillips commented on HIVE-4393:
---------------------------------------

Yes, sorry.  To answer your question about how deleteData is related to the 
description; DFS data is only deleted when partitions are dropped on internal 
tables with the deleteData flag set.  Because I'm only trying to track drop 
partition events where data should be removed from the DFS I need to have 
access to the deleteData flag from within the event listeners.
                
> Make the deleteData flag accessable from DropTable/Partition events

> On occasion, due to some error during a drop, information is removed from the 
> metastore but data, which should have been removed, remains intact on the 
> DFS.  In order to log such events via PreEvent and Event listeners a new 
> method 'getDeleteData' should be added to (Pre)DropPartitionEvent and 
> (Pre)DropTableEvent which returns the deleteData flag's value.
