Ashutosh Chauhan commented on HIVE-5220:
----------------------------------------
I see existing behavior as a bug, which your patch is fixing. Don't see a need
for config variable. This should be default. Also, I could be mistaken but I
think {{FileSystem}} provides rmr api. Atleast {{FsShell}} provides it. It will
be better to reuse those apis instead of writing our own recursive delete.
> Add option for removing intermediate directory for partition, which is empty
